What is the best public school in Montgomery County?
Rossview Elementary in Clarksville, Tennessee ranks first among traditional public schools in Montgomery County with a Success Index (US) of 88.7 out of 100 (Enrollment: 1,188).
How are traditional public schools in Montgomery County ranked?

Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
