Summary

Clearbrook Elementary is a PK–5 school in Roanoke County Public Schools serving 320 students in the Roanoke, VA area. The school has experienced a clear downward trend in state ranking, dropping from 151st (86th percentile) in 2022–2023 to 339th (69th percentile) in 2025–2026, while nearby Cave Spring Elementary and Penn Forest Elementary remain firmly in the 92nd–94th percentile with 5-star ratings. Clearbrook’s current ranking is its lowest in a decade, despite being part of a top-10 Virginia school district.

The school’s biggest academic challenge is a stark grade-level gap. Fifth graders are very strong — reading at 92.3%, math at 90.6%, and science at 92.5% in 2025–2026, all well above district and state averages. But third graders lag at 67.4% reading and 73.9% math, essentially at state averages and well below Roanoke County’s averages. This pattern suggests Clearbrook “catches up” by 5th grade, but early-grade instruction needs attention. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism is low at 9.6%, matching the district and far below Virginia’s 14.8% average.

Clearbrook is also improving for economically disadvantaged students, with low-income students rising from the 60th to 78th percentile statewide over two years. However, female students dropped sharply from the 93rd to 72nd percentile, and male students have plateaued. The school spends a modest $10,169 per student — less than Mount Pleasant Elementary ($14,740) and Garden City Elementary ($16,985) — yet outperforms both in most subjects. If early-grade performance can be lifted to match 5th grade levels, Clearbrook has the foundation to return to top-quartile status.
