Clark Intermediate

Summary:

Clark Intermediate is a public middle school located in Clovis, California, serving 1,462 students in grades 7-8 as part of the Clovis Unified School District, which is ranked 326 out of 1,568 districts in the state and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Clark Intermediate consistently performs above the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, as well as the CAST Science assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 62.69% in ELA, 41.24% in Math, and 36.06% in Science, compared to the state averages of 47.04%, 35.54%, and 30.7%, respectively. The school also excels in supporting certain student subgroups, particularly African American and English Language Learner students, with these groups ranking 29th and 102nd out of all California middle schools, respectively. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.4% in 2018-2019 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, which is a concerning trend that requires further investigation.

Compared to other Clovis Unified middle schools, Clark Intermediate's performance is generally on par or slightly below, with Granite Ridge Intermediate standing out as an exceptional performer, ranking 98th out of 2,777 California middle schools. When compared to middle schools in the neighboring Fresno Unified School District, Clark Intermediate's performance is significantly higher across all academic measures, with Yosemite Middle having much lower proficiency rates. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Clark Intermediate has maintained strong academic performance, suggesting effective strategies and support systems in place to address the needs of this student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
