Summary

Clarksville Elementary School in Clarksville, AR, serves 368 students in grades 2 and 3 as part of the Clarksville School District, and is located on a shared campus with Clarksville Primary School (K-1) and Clarksville Intermediate School (4-5).

The school faces significant challenges, with 79.35% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a rate that has been steadily increasing. Academic performance has been volatile, with a sharp decline in the most recent testing year (2025-2026) where proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32%), Reading (32%), Mathematics (35.3%), and Science (36.8%) all fell below the state average. This is a stark reversal from the 2023-2024 school year, when the school outperformed the state in all subjects. The school's state ranking dropped from the 59th percentile to the 24th percentile, earning a 1-star rating. Interestingly, its sister school, Clarksville Intermediate School, located just 0.07 miles away, has shown more stability and outperformed the elementary school in ELA and Math, suggesting the academic challenges may be particularly acute in the 2nd and 3rd grade cohort.

Despite the high level of economic disadvantage, the school's per-student spending ($12,511) is lower than several nearby schools with similar or higher poverty rates, such as Paris Elementary School ($13,958) and Westside Elementary School ($13,964). A powerful contrast is Scranton Elementary School, just 7.4 miles away, which achieves dramatically higher results (52.7% ELA, 62.9% Math) despite a lower poverty rate (52.74%), highlighting that high poverty does not have to dictate low performance. The school's Science proficiency (36.8%) is a small bright spot, outperforming its district average (33.4%), and could offer insights for improvement in other subjects.
