Clopton Elementary

Summary:

Clopton Elementary is a public elementary school in Clarksville, Missouri, serving 244 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Pike County R-III school district and has a predominantly white student population, with 95.08% of students identifying as white.

Clopton Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in 4th grade mathematics, with 65.4% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43.8%. However, the school's performance in 5th and 6th grade mathematics is below the state average. In English Language Arts, Clopton's 3rd grade students perform slightly better than the state, but 5th grade ELA scores are below average. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (44.26%), Clopton Elementary's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking 51st out of 907 Missouri elementary schools in 2018-2019.

Clopton Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 students per teacher, which may contribute to its academic success. Compared to nearby schools like Louisiana Elementary, which has a higher percentage of low-income students, Clopton performs better in mathematics but has mixed results in English Language Arts. While Clopton Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its lack of racial diversity may be a concern, as research shows diverse learning environments can have positive impacts on student 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.
