Summary

Clark Wood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Elkland, Pennsylvania, serving 302 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Northern Tioga School District, which is ranked 350 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending of $20,437 per student, Clark Wood Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency on the PSSA tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 38.8%, compared to the district's 38.9% and the state's 41.7%, while its ELA proficiency rate was 29.3%, significantly lower than the district's 38.8% and the state's 48.5%. The school's performance is particularly concerning in ELA, where it lags behind the district and state by a wide margin.

When compared to nearby schools, Westfield Area Elementary School and Russell B Walter Elementary School have consistently outperformed Clark Wood in both Math and ELA proficiency, despite having lower spending per student and higher student-teacher ratios. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and class size may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by Clark Wood Elementary School, and the school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement.
