While the schools in Clear Spring demonstrate strong academic performance, there are also areas for improvement. The district has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates across the schools. Additionally, the schools have a predominantly white student population, suggesting a lack of racial diversity that may need to be addressed. However, the lower student-teacher ratios and higher spending per student at the middle and high school levels may be contributing factors to their academic success.
