Summary:
Zip code 40313 has one elementary school, Clearfield Elementary School, serving kindergarten through grade 5 with 299 students in Rowan County. In 2025–2026, its reported proficiency results were below Kentucky’s in 8 of 9 grade-and-subject comparisons; the exception was grade-5 writing. The most important takeaway is that Clearfield’s results are uneven, with writing standing out against broader performance below the state.
Since Clearfield is the only school in the list, there is no school-to-school top or bottom comparison within the zip code. Its strongest state comparison was grade-5 writing: 43% proficient, 8 percentage points above both the state and district, at 35%. Its weakest was grade-3 reading, at 27% compared with 49% statewide, a 22-point gap; grade-3 math was not available because the state suppressed the result. Reading across grades 3–5 averaged 39% proficient, 11 points below the state average of 50%, while grade-4 science was 26%, 14 points below the state.
Changes over time varied by grade and subject rather than showing broad improvement: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, grade-5 reading rose 15 points and grade-5 writing rose 12, while grade-3 reading fell 18 and grade-4 math fell 13. Grade-5 social studies also increased 14 points, but remained 11 points below the state. SchoolDigger gives Clearfield 1 star; its latest ranking was 515 of 684 schools, following ranks of 524 of 685 and 505 of 685 in the prior two years. In 2024–2025, 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the student–teacher ratio was 14.3, and per-student spending was $17,071. Chronic absenteeism was 25%, matching the county and about 1 point above the state. These figures offer context, but the one-school list cannot show how Clearfield compares with other local schools.
