Summary:
The city of Clinton, Maryland is home to 6 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 22 out of 25 in the state, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Francis T. Evans Elementary is the highest-performing school in the area, ranking 486 out of 859 Maryland elementary schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has the highest proficiency rates in both math and English language arts compared to the other elementary schools and the district/state averages. In contrast, Waldon Woods Elementary has the lowest proficiency rates, with only 6.7% of students proficient in math and 22.1% proficient in English language arts.
The schools in Clinton generally serve high percentages of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 60.49% at Surrattsville High to 81.08% at Clinton Grove Elementary. This raises concerns about equity in educational opportunities and outcomes, as the data suggests that some students may not be receiving the support and resources they need to succeed. The district and schools should explore strategies to address these challenges and improve student performance across the board.
