Clearview Elementary

Summary:

Clearview Elementary is a public elementary school in Clear Lake, Minnesota, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the St. Cloud Public School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with a higher percentage of white students and lower rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools.

Clearview Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with proficiency rates that exceed the district and state averages across MCA-III Math, Reading, and Science assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Clearview had a 47.06% proficiency rate in MCA-III Math, compared to 25.53% for the St. Cloud district and 45.47% for the state. The school's 5th-grade students also excel, with 69.81% proficient in MCA-III Reading, surpassing the district's 43.39% and the state's 57.45%. In contrast, nearby schools like Discovery Community Elementary and Lincoln Elementary have lower proficiency rates and more diverse student populations.

The data suggests a potential correlation between the socioeconomic and racial makeup of the student population and academic performance. Clearview Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (74.62%) and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.42%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations and higher rates of students from low-income families. This may contribute to Clearview's relatively strong academic performance, ranking in the top 50% of Minnesota elementary schools, in contrast to the lower-performing nearby schools.

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.
