Clearwater Middle's academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Only 20.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.1%. The school's statewide ranking among Missouri middle schools has been consistently low, ranging from 358 out of 459 schools to as low as 513 out of 568 schools.

Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools, such as East Carter County R-II Middle and Greenville Junior High, Clearwater Middle consistently underperforms in academic achievement and has a lower statewide ranking, despite serving a similar demographic of students. This suggests that Clearwater Middle may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, and the school and district will need to implement significant interventions and strategies to improve student learning outcomes.

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.
