Summary:
The city of Clio, Michigan is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the district's academic performance is mixed, with some standout schools and grades, there are also significant challenges that need to be addressed, particularly at the alternative Clio Community High School.
Clio Area High School, the largest school in the district with 764 students, has a respectable 82.3% 4-year graduation rate but also a concerning 4.9% dropout rate. Its academic performance is mixed, with 11th-grade proficiency rates ranging from 27.5% in math to 50.3% in evidence-based reading and writing. In contrast, Clio Intermediate School stands out with strong academic performance, with 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates exceeding district and state averages.
The Clio Community High School, the district's alternative school, faces significant challenges, with a very low 12.5% graduation rate and a high 20% dropout rate. This suggests the need for a closer examination of the support and resources available to students in this program. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are high across the district, ranging from 20% at Clio Elementary to 28.8% at Clio Middle School, indicating a need for targeted strategies to improve student attendance.
