Summary:
ZIP code 86324 has one listed school, Clarkdale-Jerome Elementary School, serving pre-K through grade 8 and enrolling 459 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was above Arizona’s in both ELA (49% versus 41%, an 8-point lead) and math (35% versus 33%, a 2-point lead). The most important takeaway is that the school is ahead of the state overall, with a more substantial advantage in ELA than in math.
There is no school-to-school comparison in this one-school list, but results vary notably by grade. Seventh-grade ELA stands out: 62% of students were proficient, 19 points above the state’s 43%; third-grade math was also strong at 54%, 16 points above Arizona. The clearest weaker results are fifth-grade science, at 20% compared with 34% statewide, and eighth-grade math, at 23% compared with 30%. Science differs sharply by grade: eighth-grade proficiency was 49%, 19 points above the state.
Clarkdale-Jerome Elementary School has a 3-star SchoolDigger rating, and its statewide percentile ranking rose to the 63rd percentile in 2025–26 from the 53rd percentile the year before; it was at the 55th percentile in 2023–24. That improved ranking is not the same as evidence of rising test proficiency, since comparable test-score results across multiple years are not provided. The reported student–teacher ratio is 21.7, and the free/reduced-lunch figure is blank, so that measure offers no additional context for families.
