Elementary Schools in Clearwater R-I

Summary:

The Clearwater R-I school district in Missouri has a single elementary school, Clearwater Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 392 students. While Clearwater Elementary's 3rd-grade math proficiency is slightly above the state average, the school's 4th-grade math and English Language Arts proficiency rates are significantly below the Missouri state averages. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 24.7%, which is much higher than the state average.

Clearwater Elementary's school ranking has been declining over the past few years, going from 563 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 590 out of 900 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school currently holds a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. These trends suggest that the school may be struggling to keep up with academic performance standards compared to other elementary schools in the state.

The high percentage of students (67.09%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Clearwater Elementary indicates that the school serves a relatively low-income student population. While the district's spending per student is slightly above the state average, the school's academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that more targeted interventions may be needed to address the unique challenges faced by the student population and improve overall student outcomes.
