Summary

Clearview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bethlehem, PA, serving 387 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bethlehem Area School District, which is ranked 426 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clearview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts below the district and state averages. However, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 35-40% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. Clearview's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with free and reduced-price lunch recipients increasing from 54.76% to 71.06% in the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

While Clearview Elementary's performance is generally lower than other Bethlehem Area School District elementary schools, such as Calypso Elementary and Asa Packer Elementary, it outperforms some nearby schools in the Allentown City School District, like Sheridan Elementary and Mosser Elementary. The increased per-student spending and improved student-teacher ratio at Clearview suggest the school is making efforts to address the needs of its student population, and targeted interventions and support may help drive improvement in the future.
