Clarksburg Elementary's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, is generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28.91%) and Mathematics (30.23%) were well below the state averages of 39.17% and 40.91% respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with special education students performing much better than their white and low-socioeconomic status peers. Clarksburg Elementary's statewide ranking has remained relatively consistent over the years, typically ranking in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Williamstown Elementary and Hoosac Valley Elementary, Clarksburg Elementary's academic performance is generally lower, with those schools having higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The school's declining academic performance and stark disparities in student group outcomes suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address these challenges.

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.
