Original Research by School Decision on Northeast Elementary
Northeast Elementary is a regular public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Clarksville, Tennessee, part of the Montgomery County school district. With a large enrollment for an elementary school, it operates as a neighborhood school within a city that is among the fastest-growing in the state. Clarksville’s economy is shaped significantly by Fort Campbell, a major military installation, as well as employers such as Trane, Austin Peay State University, and a growing industrial and logistics sector. The city’s recent growth, including new distribution centers and residential expansion, means that many families moving to the area are arriving from outside Tennessee.
The student body at Northeast Elementary is racially and ethnically diverse. White students make up the largest share, followed by a substantial population of Black students, a sizable Hispanic population, and a notable group of students who identify as two or more races. Smaller numbers of Asian students and students of other racial backgrounds are also present. This diversity gives the school a mix of backgrounds that reflects the broader Clarksville population, which is influenced by the military and industrial workforces. Data on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, students with disabilities, and English learners was not available in the provided records, so a parent would want to ask the school or district for those details to get a fuller picture of student support needs.
State testing results from the most recent year show that on the TNReady assessments, which measure proficiency in math, English language arts, and science for grades three through eight, a moderate share of students scored at the proficient level or above. In English language arts, just under half of tested students reached that threshold, while in math, the share was lower. Science results showed a modestly higher portion of students at or above proficiency. Social studies data came from a much earlier year and reflected a different assessment, so it is not comparable to current results. A parent may want to discuss the math scores with the school to understand what supports are in place. The participation rate on the tests was very high, meaning the results represent nearly all enrolled students.
The school serves only elementary grades, so it has no graduation rate to report and no high school pathways such as Advanced Placement or career and technical programs. For families considering this school, the academic pathway is the standard elementary curriculum within the Montgomery County district, and the next step after fifth grade would be to a district middle school. Northeast Elementary is listed as a regular public school with no charter or magnet status, and the data did not include Title I status, gifted programs, or specific course access details.
Housing in the area around the school is moderately priced compared to national benchmarks, with home values and rents that reflect a growing mid-size city. The typical home value in the ZIP code has been stable recently, and rents have seen a modest increase, which is consistent with a region experiencing population growth. The estimated monthly housing costs place the area within reach for many working families, though a parent should look at current listings for the specific school attendance zone.
The district brief did not identify any recent major changes that would directly affect parents, such as boundary redraws, new school openings, or substantial program shifts. Clarksville’s rapid growth and the influence of Fort Campbell mean that the district often experiences enrollment changes, but no specific news was found in this search. A parent moving to the area may want to contact the district directly about school assignment and any rezoning plans.
For families, Northeast Elementary offers a large, diverse elementary school in a growing city with a strong military and industrial economic base. The school’s academic results show room for discussion, particularly in math, and the absence of detailed demographic and program data means a parent will need to gather more information in person. It is a straightforward neighborhood public school serving its attendance zone, without the specialized focus of a magnet or charter.
