Summary
Clearfield High is a large public school serving grades 10–12 in Clearfield, Utah, with 2,041 students and a location near several other traditional high schools in the Davis District. The district ranks around the middle of Utah districts statewide, while Clearfield’s latest ranking was 79th of 139 schools, in the 43rd percentile. Its ranking has varied considerably, moving from the 26th percentile in 2023–24 to the 63rd percentile in 2024–25 and back to the 43rd percentile in 2025–26. This suggests that the school can show strong results but has not yet established a consistent improvement trend.
Academic performance is mixed, with mathematics the clearest concern. In the latest 10th-grade Aspire Plus results, 46.5% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 27.6% in math, and 39.1% in science. Math proficiency was 8.4 percentage points below the district and 1.8 points below Utah overall. Clearfield’s ELA and science results were generally competitive with nearby schools: it outperformed Northridge High in all three subjects and exceeded Layton High in ELA and science. However, Syracuse High posted stronger results in each subject. Clearfield also had a substantial academic rebound in 2024–25, followed by declines in all three subjects the next year, reinforcing the concern about consistency.
Clearfield’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 90.2%, slightly above Utah’s 89.8% but below the nearby rates at Syracuse, Layton, and Northridge, all of which were above 92%. Its dropout rate, 6.4%, was better than the state’s 8.5% but higher than those nearby Syracuse High, Layton High, and Northridge High. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue at 27.6%, compared with 18.6% in the Davis District. Encouragingly, Clearfield’s Hispanic-student subgroup ranked in the 73rd percentile statewide, and its student-teacher ratio of 23.2 to 1 was favorable compared with nearby traditional schools. Overall, attendance, math achievement, and stable year-to-year performance are the most important areas for improvement.
