Summary

Clarkston Elementary is a public elementary school in Tyler, Texas, serving 379 students in grades PK-5. Despite its relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed academically compared to the Tyler Independent School District and the state of Texas.

Clarkston Elementary's academic performance on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science has been significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.12% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR reading, compared to 47.7% for Tyler ISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 83.64% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which is much higher than nearby schools like Bonner Elementary and Birdwell School.

Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Clarkston Elementary has not shown consistent improvement in its academic performance over the years. Its ranking and star rating from Tyler ISD have fluctuated, with no clear upward trend. The school's performance also lags behind nearby schools in the district, suggesting that there may be systemic issues or challenges that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes at Clarkston Elementary.
