Summary:
The Clearfield Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Clearfield Area Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 176 out of 674 schools in 2022-2023 to 491 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Clearfield Area Junior/Senior High School faces challenges, with proficiency rates in PSSA/Math (26.4%), PSSA/Science (54.8%), and PSSA/English Language Arts (47.1%) for all grades falling below the state averages. The school's Keystone Exam proficiency rates are also mixed, with Algebra I (16%) and Literature (57.1%) below the state averages, but Biology (41.4%) above the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.6% is lower than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as it has a high percentage of students (88.1%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and higher per-student spending of $18,554 compared to the state average, raising questions about how the school is allocating its resources to support student learning and achievement.
