How can you tell if the AC clutch is bad or if the freon is low?

If the compressor is not going on then recharge the A/C. If it doesn't work after recharge you may have a severe leak. If you can't see any leakage does your windshield frost up after charging? If it does then you may have a big problem . See a mechanic and get an estimate. Depending on the cars age and value you might wanna get used to rolling the windows down in hot weather.

Try jumping the two terminals of the wires which go to the low pressure switch. That's a possibility, as is low refrigerant, a bad compressor clutch, or a faulty fuse or relay to the compressor clutch.
What would stop freon from flowing into the low pressure port during a needed recharge-the clutch is engaged on the compressor and the max air is on-gauge shows low pressure but freon won't flow?
If the clutch is engaged & turning, there should be no problem getting freon into the system, unless the orifice tube is plugged.
