Summary

Clearview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Clear Lake, Minnesota, serving 403 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the St. Cloud Public School District, which is ranked 354 out of 446 districts in the state.

Clearview Elementary consistently outperforms the St. Cloud district and the state of Minnesota in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 45.95% of Clearview students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 24.81% for the district and 45.21% for the state. In reading, 50.27% of Clearview students were proficient or better, compared to 33.71% for the district and 49.59% for the state. Clearview's performance is particularly strong in 3rd and 5th grade reading, where the school outperforms the district and state by a significant margin.

However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as female students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, has been more mixed, with rankings in the bottom half of the state. Clearview Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 19.4 students per teacher in recent years, which is lower than nearby Discovery Community Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, also part of the St. Cloud district. Overall, Clearview appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the district, but the school may need to focus on addressing equity concerns to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
