It currently ranks 14th out of 37 in the LA's primary school table, placing it in the top 38% locally. The three highest-ranked peers in Middlesbrough are St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School, Lingfield Primary School, and Beech Grove Primary School, all of which sit above St Clare's on the league table.
