Summary:

Clearview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, serving 382 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Bethlehem Area School District, which is ranked 452 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clearview Elementary has a diverse student population, with 41.1% White, 10.99% African American, 44.76% Hispanic, and 2.36% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, Clearview's proficiency rates in Math (35.2%), Science (56%), and English Language Arts (47.1%) were all below the state and district averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.35% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby Hanover Elementary School at 15.49%.

Clearview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking of 1079 out of 1534 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. This places the school in the bottom 30% of elementary schools in the state. When compared to other nearby schools, such as Calypso Elementary and Hanover Elementary, Clearview's academic performance is lower, suggesting that the school may face ongoing challenges in improving student achievement, potentially due to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
