Summary

Clarkdale-Jerome Elementary School in Clarkdale, Arizona, serves students in prekindergarten through grade 8 and enrolls 459 students. Its 2025–26 all-grades results show a clear overall strength in English Language Arts (ELA), with 49% proficiency, compared with 35% in math. The most important takeaway is that ELA stands out, but the overall scores hide a significant weakness in eighth-grade math.

Compared with Arizona, the school is 8 percentage points higher in ELA (49% versus 41%) and 2 points higher in math (35% versus 33%); both results match the Clarkdale-Jerome Elementary District. Among nearby schools with reported all-grades scores, Clarkdale-Jerome leads in ELA: its 49% is above the next-highest result, 46% at Desert Star Community School. In math, its 35% is above the nearby average of 28%, but second to Coyote Springs Elementary School at 43%. The concern is grade 8 math: 23%, versus 30% statewide and 38% at Mountain View Preparatory School.

SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose 10 points, from 53 in 2024–25 to 63 in 2025–26, earning the school 3 stars and the highest current ranking among nearby schools with comparable ranks. Results vary by grade: eighth-grade science increased from 40% in 2022–23 to 49% in 2024–25, while fifth-grade science fell from 52% to 20% over the same period. SchoolDigger’s group-specific measure also shows a notable gap: Female Students were at the 31st percentile in 2025–26, down from 59 the year before, compared with the school’s overall percentile of 63. The student-teacher ratio was 21.7 in 2024–25, higher than the nearby-school average of 18.2; the supplied free/reduced-lunch figure was 40% in 2022–23, with no comparable nearby rates provided.
