The school has a student population of 395 and a predominantly White student body, with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students.

Academically, Clifford Wise Intermediate School is struggling, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was just 19.44% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 44.89%. The school also serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 54.94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
