Clinton Community Schools

The Clinton Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one traditional and one virtual), and 0 alternative schools. The district's schools serve a predominantly white student population, with free and reduced-price lunch eligibility ranging from 28% to 60%.

The standout performer in the district is Clinton High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 200 high schools in Michigan and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a very high 98.8% 4-year graduation rate and low 1.1% dropout rate, along with test scores that are above the district and state averages, particularly in social studies and evidence-based reading and writing. Clinton Middle School is also a strong performer, ranking in the top 210 middle schools in Michigan and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, with test scores generally above the district and state averages in English language arts and science.

In contrast, Clinton Elementary School struggles, with 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates below the state averages in both English language arts and math. This performance gap between the elementary school and the middle/high schools suggests a need for the district to closely examine the elementary school's curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems. Additionally, all three traditional schools in the district have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.4% to 28.9%, which is an area of concern that the district should address.
