Summary

Clearfield Elementary School serves 299 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Clearfield, in Rowan County, Kentucky. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear bright spot in writing, but most reported results trail the state, and several also fall below nearby-school averages. The most important takeaway is that writing is a genuine strength, while mathematics and science are notable concerns.

Compared with nearby schools and the state, Clearfield’s fifth-grade writing result stands out: 43% of students were proficient, 8 points above the state and district rates of 35% and about 13 points above the nearby-school average of 30%. The contrast is sharp in reading: third-grade proficiency was 27%, compared with 49% statewide, 39% in the district, and a 45% nearby-school average. Fourth- and fifth-grade reading, at 44% and 46%, were closer to or above nearby averages. Mathematics is weak across both reported grades, averaging 29% proficient, versus 43% statewide and 34% among nearby schools. Grade 4 science was also low at 26%, compared with 40% statewide and 33% nearby.

Results have shifted unevenly over time: the average in grades 4–5 mathematics fell from 38% in 2022–2023 to 29% in 2025–2026, while fifth-grade writing fell from 65% to 43%, despite recovering from 31% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger places Clearfield at the 25th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026; its percentile was 53 in 2021–2022. One subgroup result is notably stronger: in 2024–2025, the SchoolDigger statewide percentile for Special Education Students was 55, compared with 26 overall, a 29-point difference. The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.3, close to the nearby average of 14.6. Its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 77% in 2024–2025, compared with a 67% nearby average; these figures describe context, not a cause of results.

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
