Summary:
The city of Clear Creek, West Virginia has only one school, Clear Fork District Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 99 students. The school is part of the Raleigh County Schools district, which is ranked 12th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
Clear Fork District Elementary's performance is concerning, with test scores consistently below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 4th grade math proficiency rate was 33.3% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 52.3% and the state's 47.6%. The school's statewide ranking has also dropped significantly, from 130th out of 375 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 287th out of 368 in 2023-2024, indicating a concerning trend of declining academic performance.
Despite the school's relatively low test scores, it has a high spending per student of $13,971, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a small student population of only 99 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which are typically positive indicators for student learning. However, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to determine if the school's underperformance is related to the socioeconomic status of the student population.
