Summary:
The Clearfield Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Clearfield Area Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 176 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 491 out of 686 in 2023-2024.
Academically, Clearfield Area Junior/Senior High School has faced challenges, with proficiency rates in PSSA/Math and PSSA/English Language Arts consistently below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is also slightly below the state average. However, the school's dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. Socioeconomically, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student body.
Despite the academic and socioeconomic challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and higher per-student spending of $18,838 compared to the state average. This suggests that the school district is allocating resources to support the school, but the impact on student outcomes may not be as evident. Overall, the data suggests that Clearfield Area Junior/Senior High School requires a closer examination of its strategies and resource allocation to improve student learning and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
