Clearfield Elementary School

Summary:

Clearfield Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Clearfield, Kentucky, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 303 students. The school is part of the Rowan County School District, which is ranked 95 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Clearfield Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking between 321 and 587 out of 684-705 schools over the past 10 years. The school's SchoolDigger rating has been 1 or 2 stars out of 5 for most of the past 10 years, indicating below-average performance compared to other Kentucky elementary schools. The school's student proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science are consistently lower than the Rowan County and Kentucky state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 29%, compared to 35% for Rowan County and 43% for the state.

The nearby schools in the Rowan County district, such as Tilden Hogge Elementary, McBrayer Elementary, and Rodburn Elementary, generally perform better than Clearfield Elementary School on key metrics like student proficiency rates and school rankings. For example, Tilden Hogge Elementary has a higher 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate (38%) compared to Clearfield (29%) in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite spending levels and student-teacher ratios that are comparable to nearby higher-performing schools, Clearfield Elementary School has not been able to overcome its academic challenges, which appear to be significantly influenced by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This is an excellent school. I moved my children to Rowan County schools from a neighboring county where the teachers did not care if/what the children learned. My son has flourished in his 3 years at Clearfield Elementary! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
