Clinton

The Clinton school district in Massachusetts consists of three schools: Clinton Elementary, Clinton Senior High, and Clinton Middle School. While the high school performs relatively well, the elementary and middle schools in the district are struggling to meet state academic standards.

Clinton Elementary has significantly lower test scores compared to the state averages, with only 23.93% of students proficient or better in ELA and 43.46% in Math. In contrast, Clinton Senior High has a respectable 89.6% four-year graduation rate, though it also has a concerning 7.2% dropout rate. Clinton Middle School performs better than the elementary school, with 29.54% proficient or better in ELA and 29.1% in Math, but still falls short of state averages.

The data suggests that the Clinton school district as a whole is underperforming compared to the state, and there is a noticeable gap in performance between the high school and the elementary/middle schools. While the district has relatively low student-teacher ratios and high spending per student, the focus should be on improving instructional quality and student support to address the achievement gaps across all grade levels.
