Clear Run Intrmd School

Q: Is Clear Run Intrmd School a good school?

Clear Run Intrmd School ranks 1125 th of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Clear Run Intrmd School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Pocono Mountain School District in Tobyhanna, PA, with a diverse student population of 922 students.

While the school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, it performs better in certain student subgroups. In 2022-2023, the school ranked 71 out of 437 PA elementary schools for African American students, 177 out of 432 for Hispanic students, and 42 out of 196 for English Language Learner students, all with 3-4 star ratings. However, the school's overall academic performance is low, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. This is significantly worse than nearby schools like Tobyhanna Elementary Center, which outperforms Clear Run Intrmd School across all PSSA subject areas and grade levels.

The school's high poverty rates, with 73.54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with its relatively high spending per student of $22,657 in 2021-2022, suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. While the school's subgroup performance indicates that it is effectively supporting the academic needs of certain student populations, its overall low academic performance remains a concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.

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.
