Clear Fork District Elementary

Summary:

Clear Fork District Elementary is a small public elementary school in Clear Creek, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with an 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 from SchoolDigger.

Clear Fork District Elementary has struggled with its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, declining from a 1-star rating in 2013-2014 to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023. The school's test scores in mathematics, English language arts, and science are generally lower than the Raleigh County Schools district average and the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.3% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 52.3% for the district and 47.6% for the state. The school's performance on test scores for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and special education students, has been inconsistent and generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Crescent Elementary and Hollywood Elementary, have consistently maintained 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and outperformed Clear Fork District Elementary on various academic measures. The high percentage of students (68.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Clear Fork District Elementary may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, as research suggests that students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds often face additional challenges that can impact their educational outcomes.

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.
