CLEARWATER INTERMEDIATE

CLEARWATER INTERMEDIATE is a Title I public school that is part of the PINELLAS school district, located in CLEARWATER, FL with about 240 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 9th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 28 teachers, CLEARWATER INTERMEDIATE has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

CLEARWATER INTERMEDIATE (often referred to as Clearwater Fundamental Middle School) is a public school located in Clearwater, Florida, serving students in grades 6 through 8. As part of the Pinellas County School District, it operates under a "fundamental" school model. This approach is characterized by a structured learning environment, a strong emphasis on consistent communication between home and school, and specific expectations regarding student behavior, dress code, and academic responsibility.

The school is well-regarded for its commitment to academic excellence and high standards of discipline. Because it is a fundamental school, enrollment is typically managed through a controlled choice or lottery system, requiring a high level of parental involvement and a commitment to the school’s unique policies. The campus serves a diverse student body and focuses on preparing students for the rigors of high school through a comprehensive curriculum that balances core subjects with elective opportunities, all while fostering a community-centered educational experience.
