Clarksburg

Clarksburg, Massachusetts has only one public school serving grades PK-8, Clarksburg Elementary. With a total enrollment of 189 students, the school's academic performance on state assessments lags behind the Massachusetts averages, and its ranking among the state's elementary schools has declined in recent years. Despite higher per-student spending, the school faces challenges in improving student learning and achievement.

Clarksburg Elementary has a predominantly White student population, with over 95% of students identifying as such. The school's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments in 2023-2024 were below the state averages in English Language Arts (28.91% vs. 39.17%), Mathematics (30.23% vs. 40.91%), and Science (33.33% vs. 41.95%). This academic performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with proficiency rates ranging from the low to mid-30s in ELA and Mathematics.

Clarksburg Elementary is ranked 591 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has declined slightly over the past few years, from 507 out of 932 schools in 2021-2022 to 588 out of 928 schools in 2022-2023. Despite the higher per-student spending of $17,102 for the 2020-2021 school year, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance remains a concern and may warrant further investigation into the efficient allocation of resources.
