Summary:
The 46057 zip code in Indiana is home to two schools - Clinton Central Elementary School and Clinton Central Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Clinton Central School Corporation. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the high school lags behind in academic achievement, attendance, and other key metrics.
Clinton Central Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 40% of Indiana elementary schools, with strong student academic performance that exceeds district and state averages. The school has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the high school. In contrast, Clinton Central Junior-Senior High School performs below average, ranking in the middle 50% of Indiana high schools with a 3-star rating. Academic performance, SAT scores, and graduation rates at the high school all lag behind state averages.
The data also reveals potential equity concerns, with the elementary school having a higher percentage of students on free/reduced lunch compared to the high school. This suggests socioeconomic challenges may be impacting student outcomes, particularly as they progress through the school system. While funding appears consistent between the two schools, the significant performance gap between the elementary and high school represents an opportunity for the district to identify and address the root causes of the lower outcomes at the high school level.
