Summary

Clarksburg School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Clarksburg, Tennessee, with 339 students and part of the South Carroll school district. While the school has seen relatively stable graduation rates over the past 5 years, ranging from 86.5% to 89.8%, it has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 20.2% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Clarksburg School's test scores are significantly below the state averages across most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (25.6%) and English Language Arts (27.8%) for all grades are well below the state averages of 42.2% and 38.9%, respectively. The school's performance on tests is particularly low for certain subgroups, such as in 8th grade Mathematics (28.6% vs. state average of 36.2%) and 8th grade English Language Arts (17.9% vs. state average of 29.6%). However, Clarksburg School has relatively high spending per student, with $13,899 projected for the 2023-2024 school year, and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.5, suggesting the school may have the resources to support student learning.

Compared to the nearby Holladay Elementary School, Clarksburg School generally performs worse on test scores, with lower proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and other subject areas. This indicates that Clarksburg School may face unique challenges that are not shared by all schools in the Benton County region. The high chronic absenteeism rates and inconsistent performance across grade levels suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies, attendance policies, and support systems to better meet the needs of its students.
