Clearwater Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.2%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Ellington Elementary and East Carter County R-II Elementary. Academically, the school's performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests is generally below the state average, with lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts for 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, Clearwater Elementary has a high percentage of students (72.46%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population.

The school's academic performance is generally lower than that of the nearby schools, and its performance for specific student subgroups, such as white students and low-socioeconomic status students, is also below the state averages for those subgroups. To improve student outcomes, the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support for struggling students, as well as exploring ways to address the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting academic achievement.

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.
