Summary:
The Clarksville, Texas school district consists of two schools: Cheatham Elementary and Clarksville Middle and High School. Both schools are underperforming academically, with significantly lower test scores compared to state averages. The district faces challenges in providing quality education to its diverse student population, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Cheatham Elementary is ranked 4503 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools and has a 0-star rating, while Clarksville Middle and High School is ranked 1663 out of 1987 Texas high schools and has a 1-star rating. The schools' STAAR test scores are well below state averages, with only 31.43% of 3rd graders at Cheatham Elementary proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Similarly, at Clarksville Middle and High School, only 16% of 8th graders were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 54.09%.
Despite higher-than-average per-student spending, the Clarksville Independent School District (ISD) is struggling to address the systemic issues that are contributing to the academic underperformance of its schools. The district's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the lack of diversity in the student population, suggest that equity and socioeconomic factors may be significant challenges that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Clarksville area.
