Summary

Clarksburg School is a small Pre-K through 12th-grade alternative school in Huntingdon, TN, serving 343 students as part of the South Carroll Special School District. One of the most impressive things about the school is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate — just 7.2% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the statewide average of 18.3%. That means kids are showing up consistently, which often sets the stage for better learning outcomes.

Academically, Clarksburg has some clear bright spots. The school outperforms Holladay Elementary School, located about 14 miles away, in every core subject — with especially large gaps in science (52.4% vs. 36.5% proficient) and social studies (54.5% vs. 44.8%). Clarksburg also exceeds state averages in science, social studies, Biology I, and English II. Early elementary math is a notable strength, with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates of 55% and 62.5%, respectively — both well above state averages. The school's per-student spending of $14,241 and a student-teacher ratio around 12.5:1 also indicate strong investment in student support.

That said, math becomes a bigger challenge as students get older. Algebra I and Algebra II proficiency rates (9.4% and 7.7%) are far below state averages, and elementary and middle school English Language Arts scores trail the state as well. However, the picture isn't all challenging — high school English results are strong, with English II at 60% proficiency, and the school has a historically high graduation rate of 96.2%. Recent jumps in math and social studies scores suggest that new instructional strategies may be taking hold. For a school that serves such a wide range of grades and needs, Clarksburg offers a supportive environment worth watching closely.
