Summary

Clawson School is an elementary school located in Douglas, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 328 students. The school is part of the Douglas Unified District, which is ranked 246 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Clawson School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a ranking between 565 and 1037 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years, and a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clawson School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various state assessments, is significantly below the state average and the performance of the Douglas Unified District. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 29% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 36% statewide and 25% for the district. Similarly, in math, only 24% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to 37% statewide and 19% for the district. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learner students performing particularly poorly.

Clawson School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Nearby schools in the Douglas Unified District also perform poorly on state assessments, suggesting that the issues faced by Clawson School may be systemic within the district. However, the nearby Center for Academic Success #3 - Douglas K-4 charter school outperforms Clawson School and the district, highlighting the potential for alternative educational models to achieve better outcomes for students.
