DISTRICT PROFILE

The South Carroll County Special School District is located on the southern boundary of Carroll County in West Tennessee. The district is located just east of Highway 22 in the city limits of Clarksburg. We enjoy the advantages of a rural community but are conveniently located approximately five  minutes from I-40.  Our small school setting is unique and enjoys close community involvement in school events and activities. The district office and Clarksburg School (Pre K-12) are housed in one building.  The district supports approximately 430 students.

Prior to 1954 the school was a part of the Carroll County School System. The county building deteriorated and was condemned in 1954.  At this time, a special school district was formed encompassing the communities of Clarksburg, Concord, Westport, Yuma, and the surrounding territory.  A bond issue was passed and a new building housing classrooms was built. A new gym, cafeteria, and elementary classrooms were added later. Two new classrooms, a new library, administrative offices, and other improvements were completed in August 2002.

SCCSD consistently scores at or above state averages in most areas of school accountability measures. The district teachers are all highly qualified in the subject areas in which they teach. Students in grades kindergarten through eight participate in proven methods of learning. High school students participate in curriculum designed to prepare students to enter college, technical training, or the workforce.


RECENT PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS
 

South Carroll is a progressive district always striving to improve educational opportunities for students. This year, SCCSD implemented a comprehensive after-school program including enrichment opportunities in the arts, fitness, and academics. Currently, the board is reviewing plans for the construction of a new gymnasium. The district recently acquired additional acreage enabling the school to improve the playground area for elementary students. In the fall of 2006, the Clarksburg School Counseling Program received federal grant funding to improve counseling services to students and implement a model school counseling program.
