Summary

Clark Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Franklin, IN, serving 440 students as part of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corp, a 4-star district ranked in the 77th percentile statewide — while Clark itself ranked 354th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, the 65th percentile with 3 stars. That is a marked decline from 2015–2016 and 2016–2017, when the school sat in the 88th–89th percentile with 4 stars; after a dip to the 58th percentile in 2024–2025, it rebounded to the 65th percentile in 2025–2026.

Academically, Clark Elementary School is mid-pack locally. All Grades English Language Arts was 51.34% proficient in 2025–2026 — slightly under the district's 53.2% and behind same-district Break-O-Day Elementary School (61.74%), Whiteland Elementary School (57.77%) and Grassy Creek Elementary School (57.36%), plus nearby Triton Central Elementary School (57.22%) and South Creek Elementary (61.59%). Math was stronger at 52.68%, above the district's 49.73%: 4th grade math is a bright spot at 60.27%, but 3rd grade math is weak at 47.56%, below district (58.68%) and state (51.9%). Science is the clearest weakness at 34.72%, well below district (44.27%) and state (43.8%), and also below Greenwood Northeast Elementary School (58.46%) and V O Isom Central Elementary School (42.59%). Fifth-grade social studies was 49.28%, above state (47.2%).

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest concern: 19.7% in 2024–2025, up from 4.2% in 2021–2022, and now above both district (19.2%) and state (16.7%). It is lower than Grassy Creek (25.0%), Ray Crowe Elementary (21.4%) and Break-O-Day (20.2%), but far higher than nearby Triton Central (11.2%), South Creek (11.8%), Greenwood Northeast (12.4%), Acton Elementary School (8.4%) and Mary Adams Elementary School (7.9%). The 13:1 student-teacher ratio is favorable and $12,038 per-student spending (2023–2024) is mid-to-high locally, with 58.18% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Note that South Creek, Acton and Mary Adams are K–3 and Triton Central is PK–4, so All Grades figures are not perfectly comparable.
