Clarksdale Collegiate Public Charter School

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Clarksdale Collegiate is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-7 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, with a student population of 511 that is predominantly African American (92.56%). The school is part of the Clarksdale Municipal School District, which is ranked 119 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clarksdale Collegiate faces significant academic challenges, with its students consistently underperforming the state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 40.8%, compared to the state average of 57.7%, and its 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 21.1%, compared to the state average of 53.3%. The school ranks 351 out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 10% of schools in the state. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $12,797 in 2018-2019, its academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby Quitman County Elementary, Brooks Elementary, and Jonestown Elementary schools, which also serve predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student populations.

The challenges facing Clarksdale Collegiate are not unique to the school but are systemic issues within the Clarksdale Municipal School District, which ranks 119 out of 130 in the state. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be more significant contributors to the school's low academic performance. Addressing these root causes will be crucial in improving outcomes for the students at Clarksdale Collegiate.
