Summary:
The city of Clinton, Maine has only one public elementary school, Clinton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 253 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 49/Maine School Admin District 49. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces several challenges, including a declining state-wide ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Clinton Elementary School's state-wide ranking has dropped from 107 out of 258 Maine elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 193 out of 290 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over this time period. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 25.8%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 50.2% of students at Clinton Elementary School receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Compared to the other 3 elementary schools in the Regional School Unit 49/Maine School Admin District 49, Clinton Elementary School has the highest student-teacher ratio at 11.8. This could suggest that the school may have fewer resources or face greater challenges in providing individualized attention and support to students, which could impact their learning and academic outcomes. Overall, the data highlights several areas of concern for Clinton Elementary School, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the educational experiences and outcomes for the students.
