Among the schools in Clearfield, Antelope School stands out with consistently higher test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, compared to the district and state averages. The Leadership Academy of Utah, a public charter virtual high school, also demonstrates strong academic performance, with high graduation rates and low dropout rates, despite serving a student population with lower levels of economic disadvantage.

However, the data reveals significant variation in school performance across Clearfield, with some schools like Wasatch School struggling significantly in academic outcomes. The schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates, such as North Davis Junior High and South Clearfield School, tend to have lower test scores and academic performance, suggesting a correlation between socioeconomic status and educational achievement. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% across all schools in Clearfield is a significant concern that may be contributing to the overall lower academic performance in the area.
