Academically, Clear Fork High School has shown mixed performance in recent years. While its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 271 and 447, the school performs better on specific subject tests, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in subjects like American History, Biology, and English II. The school maintains a strong 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.3% to 96.7% over the past 5 years, which is higher than the state average and comparable to nearby high-performing schools like Northmor High School and Lexington High School. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased significantly, from 13.9% in 2019-2020 to 30.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and surrounding schools.

Clear Fork High School excels in serving its special education and disabled student populations, ranking 180 out of 614 Ohio high schools in this category with a 4-star rating. In contrast, the school has struggled to support its gifted and talented student population, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio high schools in this area over the past 3 years. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52.9% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and some surrounding schools. The school's per-student spending of $9,194 in 2018-2019 is on the lower end compared to nearby schools, which could be an area to explore in terms of resource allocation and its potential impact 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.
