Summary

Carr Elementary & Middle School is a public school located in Clarksville, Florida, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 219 students. The school is part of the Calhoun District, which is ranked 18 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite facing challenges related to high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 46.2% in recent years, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.09% to 66.21%, Carr Elementary & Middle School consistently outperforms the Calhoun District and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 92% of students proficient or better in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 47% for the Calhoun District and 60% for the state of Florida. When compared to nearby schools, such as Blountstown Elementary School, Waller Elementary School, and W.R. Tolar K-8 School, Carr Elementary & Middle School generally performs better in test scores, particularly in subjects like Algebra 1, Civics, and English Language Arts.

While Carr Elementary & Middle School's academic performance is strong, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 452 out of 2,064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 1,599 out of 2,219 in 2021-2022. This could be due to factors beyond the school's control, such as changes in the state's assessment system or the performance of other schools. The school's ability to support its students and address the challenges related to chronic absenteeism and a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students could be a key factor in its continued success.
