Summary:
The city of Clinton, Minnesota is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The data reveals a mix of performance, with one standout elementary school, Pre-K - 5th Grade Building, outperforming the district and state averages in core subjects, and a small, high-poverty elementary school, Lismore Colony Elementary, excelling in reading proficiency.
The Pre-K - 5th Grade Building stands out as the largest and top-performing school in the district, with the highest proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science, as well as a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, Lismore Colony Elementary has a very small student population of only 25 students, but boasts the highest reading proficiency in the district, despite having a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
The two high schools, Big Stone Colony High School and Lismore Colony Senior High School, have extremely small student populations of 7 and 6 students, respectively, raising questions about the viability and sustainability of these small high schools. Overall, the data suggests that the Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley district faces challenges in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged students and ensuring equitable educational opportunities across all its schools.
