Summary

Clausell Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Jackson Public School District in Jackson, Mississippi. With 228 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mississippi elementary schools over the past decade, currently holding a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clausell Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.9% to 43.8% in recent years, well above state and district averages. Student performance on state assessments is also a concern, with only 19.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and math proficiency rates ranging from 27.2% to 35.3% across grade levels - all far below state and district averages. Additionally, 100% of Clausell students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Compared to nearby schools in the Jackson Public School District, such as Lake Elementary and Isable Elementary, Clausell Elementary performs poorly, with significantly lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Despite these challenges, Clausell's performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past decade, suggesting the need for significant interventions and support to address the underlying issues impacting student learning and engagement.
