Summary

Clearfield Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Clearfield, Kentucky, serving 313 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Rowan County School District, which is ranked 105 out of 157 districts in the state.

Clearfield Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past 10 years, with below-average performance on state assessments in subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The school's proficiency rates in these areas are 28-45%, compared to the state averages of 43-50%. Notably, the school struggles in Social Studies, with only 13% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 38%. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.4% to 36.1% over the past three years, significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby Tilden Hogge Elementary and McBrayer Elementary schools in the Rowan County School District generally perform better on state assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, they also serve high percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that the challenges faced by Clearfield Elementary School may be common across the district. However, the school's special education students have performed relatively better than the overall student population, ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools in this subgroup, which could be a strength to build upon.

Open Quote This is an excellent school. I moved my children to Rowan County schools from a neighboring county where the teachers did not care if/what the children learned. My son has flourished in his 3 years at Clearfield Elementary! Close Quote
