Clinton Elementary School

Summary:

Clinton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 581 students in grades K-5 in Clinton, Michigan. The school is part of the Clinton Community Schools district, which is ranked 170 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Clinton Elementary School is generally performing below state averages in academic measures, it faces some unique challenges. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.6% in 2018-2019 to 21.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were 31.8% and 42.4% for 3rd grade, 44.3% and 36.8% for 4th grade, and 31.4% and 29.4% for 5th grade, compared to state averages of 39.6%, 43.4%, 43.3%, 39.1%, 44%, and 32.6%, respectively. This may be partly due to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 39.41% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools, Clinton Elementary School generally underperforms academically. For instance, Pleasant Ridge Elementary School in the Saline Area Schools district outperforms Clinton Elementary in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across grade levels. Similarly, Heritage School in the Saline Area Schools district and Riverside Intermediate School in the Manchester Community Schools district have significantly higher academic achievement than Clinton Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
