Clarkdale-Jerome Elementary is both the district’s highest- and lowest-performing school because it is the only one. Its all-grades math proficiency was 35%, just 2 points above the state’s 33%, while its strongest grade-level results were in 7th-grade ELA, at 62% versus 43% statewide, and 3rd-grade math, at 54% versus 38%. Results were lower than the state in 8th-grade math, 23% versus 30%, and 8th-grade ELA, 38% versus 39%. Science also differed sharply by grade: 5th-grade proficiency was 20%, 14 points below the state, while 8th-grade proficiency was 49%, 19 points above it.
SchoolDigger rates Clarkdale-Jerome Elementary 3 stars and places it at 329 of 900 Arizona schools, in the 63rd percentile for 2025–26. Its percentile dipped from 55 in 2023–24 to 53 the next year, then rose to 63, an 8-point net increase; that ranking history does not show whether test scores are improving. The school’s two-subject average is 42%, compared with 37% statewide, though that overall edge is stronger in ELA than math. Grade 6 math is suppressed, and the free/reduced-lunch rate is not provided, so those figures cannot inform comparisons.
