Clear Run Intrmd School

Summary:

Clear Run Intrmd School is a public elementary school located in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 922 students. The school is part of the Pocono Mountain School District, which is ranked 343 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clear Run Intrmd School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in PSSA Math for all grades was 32.7%, compared to the district's 36.1% and the state's 40.4%. However, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 73.54% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, and its performance for student subgroups is generally better than its overall performance.

Comparing Clear Run Intrmd School to nearby schools, such as Tobyhanna Elementary Center and Swiftwater Elementary Center, highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's underperformance. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $22,657 in the 2021-2022 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 in the 2022-2023 school year, Clear Run Intrmd School continues to struggle academically, suggesting that resources are not the primary issue. The Pocono Mountain School District should focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of the academic challenges at Clear Run Intrmd School to support the academic growth and success of its diverse student population.

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.
