Clintondale High School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (64.23%) than surrounding schools, which range from 17.86% to 48.44% African American. Academically, Clintondale High consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Michigan high schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are 20-30 percentage points lower than state and district averages. The school's four-year graduation rate, ranging from 85.5% to 93.5%, is also lower than the state average and some nearby schools. Additionally, Clintondale High has very high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 39.6% to 71.3%, and dropout, ranging from 4.3% to 9.4%, compared to surrounding schools.

In contrast, nearby schools like Lake Shore High School, Arts Academy in the Woods, and Fraser High School generally perform better academically, have higher graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of students (80.94% to 82.15%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Clintondale High School also indicates that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's struggles. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, targeted approach by the school and Clintondale Community Schools district to support the unique needs of the student population and improve educational outcomes.

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.
