Clintondale Middle School

Summary:

Clintondale Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Clinton Township, Michigan, with a student population of 349. The school is part of the Clintondale Community Schools district, which is ranked 577 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clintondale Middle School stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (69.05%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Jefferson Middle School and Kennedy Middle School. However, the school consistently performs below the state and Lakeview Public Schools (Macomb) district averages on standardized tests, with only 16% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.5%. The school also has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 61.8%, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Clintondale Middle School spends significantly more per student ($15,590 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Middle School South and Eastland Middle School. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for a closer examination of how funds are being utilized to support student learning.

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.
