Original Research by School Decision on Moore Magnet Elementary
Moore Magnet Elementary in Clarksville serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school in the Montgomery County district. Its neighborhood, part of Tennessee’s fifth-largest city, sits in a fast-growing region shaped by a large military base, a state university, and a broad industrial and logistics base that has expanded with major distribution centers in recent years. The city’s historic downtown and university campus are near each another, but the overall built environment is largely suburban and automobile-dependent, with schools spread across the city’s wide geography. Moore Magnet Elementary itself is located on Madison Street, within the city.
The school’s enrollment draws from a mix of backgrounds. Its student body includes a white plurality, followed by Black students, a Hispanic share, multiracial students, and a very small Asian population. One subgroup count the data does not report is the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, nor does the data show the share of students with an Individualized Education Program or those identified as English learners. A parent may want to ask the school directly for this information, as it gives a fuller picture of the supports in place.
Test results from the state’s TNReady assessments show a mixed academic picture. On math, roughly two out of five students scored at a proficient or advanced level. On English language arts, the share was slightly lower, just over two-fifths. Science results were stronger, with half of students reaching the proficient benchmark. Social studies data comes from several years ago, with a shift in testing format since then that makes direct comparison uncertain. Across all subjects, only a small number of tested students met the state’s higher bar of advanced performance. For a K-5 school, these results place Moore Magnet in a middle range relative to others in the state, not at the top tier, but not among the lowest. Participation on test day was complete in every subject, which means the reported results represent nearly all enrolled students.
The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to consider. No magnet or charter designation is recorded in the available data, nor is Title I status. The format of the data prevented a comparison against other schools in Montgomery County on the key academic metrics, so the county-wide position is not available beyond what the state numbers suggest.
The parent district, Montgomery County, turned up no recent durable changes in district policy or boundary adjustment from the research search. Families looking for updated information on any ongoing district initiatives, school choice procedures, or boundary considerations would need to contact the district or check its website directly.
For families considering Moore Magnet Elementary, the picture is of a school with moderate academic results where roughly half of students meet state expectations in science, while math and reading scores trail behind. The school serves a diverse enrollment in a city that is expanding both its population and its economic base, creating a setting that offers exposure to a range of backgrounds. The absence of data on economic disadvantage and special program participation leaves some important context about the school’s support systems unclear, and a parent would want to follow up on those details. The area’s economy, anchored by the military base, university, and growing industrial sector, has been adding employers, and the housing market reflects a moderately priced but rising market in a growing Sun Belt city.
