Clear Fork District Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Clear Fork District Elementary is a small public elementary school in Clear Creek, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 99 students. The school is part of the Raleigh County Schools district, which is ranked 12th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clear Fork District Elementary has struggled with its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, declining from a 1-star rating in 2013-2014 to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023. The school's test scores in mathematics, English language arts, and science are generally lower than the Raleigh County Schools district average and the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.3% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 52.3% for the district and 47.6% for the state. The school's performance on test scores for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and special education students, has been inconsistent and generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Crescent Elementary and Hollywood Elementary, have consistently maintained 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and outperformed Clear Fork District Elementary on various academic measures. The high percentage of students (68.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Clear Fork District Elementary may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as research suggests that students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds often face additional challenges that can impact their educational outcomes.
