Summary

South Clearfield School is a public elementary school in Clearfield, Utah, serving 703 students from Pre-K through 6th grade at 990 E 700 S and belonging to the Davis District.

The school’s latest statewide ranking is 500th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 11th percentile with a one-star rating. Its 2025–2026 RISE proficiency rates are below both district and state averages in every reported subject: about 27.7% in English Language Arts, 22.4% in mathematics, and 33.8% in science. Mathematics is the clearest academic concern, particularly in 5th grade, where proficiency is 15.8%, and 6th grade, where it is 20.3%. These upper-grade results have remained low across several years. Science performance has also declined from earlier levels, while ELA has stayed below 30% in every reported grade.

Attendance is another important concern. Chronic absenteeism was 34.1% in 2024–2025—an improvement from 52.0% in 2021–2022, but still the highest among the nearby schools listed and well above the Davis District rate of 18.6%. About 51.92% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-need enrollment compared with schools such as Ellison Park School and Cook School. Those nearby schools rank much higher statewide, while Hill Field School, only 0.39 miles away, has lower absenteeism and stronger results in most subjects. A positive sign is that South Clearfield’s student-teacher ratio improved to 20.4, although academic gains have not yet matched that staffing improvement.
