Summary

Clarksville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 175 students in grades PK-6 in Clarksville, Iowa, which is part of the Clarksville Community School District. While the school has some areas of strength, it also faces challenges that are worth noting for parents considering enrollment.

One key concern is Clarksville Elementary's rising chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased from 15.1% in 2022-2023 to 21.6% in 2023-2024 - significantly higher than the state average and the rates of most nearby schools like Aplington Elementary and Parkersburg Elementary. Additionally, the school has shown mixed performance on standardized tests, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, while others fall below.

Another factor to consider is the school's increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, rising from 21.51% in 2021-2022 to 30.29% in 2023-2024 - higher than many nearby schools. However, Clarksville Elementary does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to its neighbors. Overall, while Clarksville Elementary appears to be a relatively average-performing school within its district and the state, the combination of high chronic absenteeism, inconsistent test scores, and increasing economic challenges may suggest the need for additional support and resources to help students succeed.
