Clinton School District

The Clinton School District in Connecticut is home to three schools: Lewin G. Joel Junior School (an elementary school), The Morgan School (a high school), and Jared Eliot School (a middle school). The district's schools demonstrate a mix of strong and average performance, with The Morgan School and Jared Eliot School standing out as the top-tier institutions.

The Morgan School, the district's high school, is ranked 51st out of 145 Connecticut high schools and boasts a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the state and district averages in SAT English Language Arts and Math, and has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, the middle school, Jared Eliot, is ranked 97th out of 250 Connecticut middle schools and maintains a strong performance in SBAC English Language Arts, with over 50% of 6th and 7th graders proficient or better. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.9, lower than the other schools in the district.

While the schools in the Clinton School District generally perform above the state average in standardized tests, there are some areas of concern. The racial makeup of the schools is predominantly white, ranging from 68.42% to 75.19%, suggesting a lack of diversity. Additionally, the higher free/reduced lunch rates at Lewin G. Joel Junior School (39.71%) and Jared Eliot School (36.84%) compared to The Morgan School (29.96%) indicate potential socioeconomic disparities within the district that could impact student outcomes. The district may benefit from addressing these issues to ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities across all schools.
