The bite happened as the student was running past the dog, according to Clarksville-Montgomery County School System spokesman Anthony Johnson.
School nurses were on the scene to take care of the student until the student was taken to a doctor, he said.
The incident is under investigation by Montgomery County Animal Control, said Michelle Newell, county spokeswoman. No further information has been released.
Montgomery County has a dangerous dog list of those dogs that have been involved in a dog bite or incident with another animal or person. All dog bites and aggressive dog attacks are investigated, and once the investigation is complete, a dog may be deemed dangerous.
A dangerous dog may be ordered to be spayed or neutered, microchipped, muzzled, or to be confined in an outdoor kennel.
