Summary

Clark Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 288 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Webster Groves School District, which is ranked 13th out of 367 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clark Elementary has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Missouri, ranking in the top 5% of schools statewide for the past several years. The school's students consistently outperform the state and district averages on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, 67.8% of 3rd-grade students and 68% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.4% and 38.2%, respectively. Clark Elementary also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to nearby schools like Dr. Henry Givens Junior Elementary and Edgar Road Elementary.

While Clark Elementary's performance is impressive, the school's relatively low ranking for its gifted and talented program suggests an area for potential improvement. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased from $11,480 in 2019-2020 to $12,871 in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average and may contribute to the school's strong academic performance.
