Summary:

Clarendon Elementary is a public elementary school in Clarendon, Texas, serving 215 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Clarendon Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 150 out of 968 school districts in the state.

Clarendon Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in STAAR test scores, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was 83.33% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 48.85%. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 11.54% is significantly lower than the state average of 26.29%.

Clarendon Elementary's per-student spending has increased in recent years, and the school maintains a relatively stable student-teacher ratio. While the school's academic performance is strong, the demographic composition of the student population, with a predominantly white student body, may warrant further investigation to ensure equitable access and support for all learners.

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.
