Summary

Clearfork Academy South is a public charter high school located in Cleburne, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 25 students. The school is part of the University of Texas University Charter School District, which is ranked 880 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clearfork Academy South has some bright spots in its academic performance, particularly in certain subject areas. The school has significantly higher proficiency rates compared to its district in 8th grade Reading (40% vs. 25.84%), 8th grade Social Studies (0% vs. 6.59%), and English II Reading (45.45% vs. 25.74%). However, the school still lags behind the state averages in most subjects. Additionally, Clearfork Academy South has a very high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 55.5 to 208.3 over the past three years, which is much higher than the nearby public high schools like Burleson High School, Grandview High School, and Alvarado High School.

The combination of low school ranking, high student-teacher ratio, and mixed academic performance suggests that Clearfork Academy South may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools for the past two school years, with a ranking of 1640 out of 1974 schools in 2024-2025 and 1863 out of 1987 schools in 2023-2024. Further investigation into the school's resources, teaching practices, and student support services would be necessary to identify the root causes of these issues and to help the University of Texas University Charter School District address the school's challenges and improve its performance.
