Clarendon Elementary School consistently performs significantly below the state average in all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science all below 20% in the 2024-2025 school year, while the state averages were around 35-40%. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Arkansas elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 467 out of 495 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Clarendon Elementary School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with rates over 100% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In comparison, the nearby schools, such as Park Avenue Elementary, Hazen Elementary, and C.B. Partee Elementary, generally perform better than Clarendon Elementary School on standardized tests and have higher school rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Clarendon Elementary School may be unique to the school or district. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a potential strength, the persistent and systemic issues at Clarendon Elementary School have not been adequately addressed, indicating the need for a comprehensive and targeted approach to improve the school's performance.
