Middle Schools in Clinton

There is only one middle school located in Clinton, Missouri - Clinton Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and faces some significant challenges in terms of student academic performance and engagement.

Clinton Middle School is ranked 250 out of 451 Missouri middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas, with only 27% of 6th graders proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.8%, which is a concern as it is often linked to lower academic achievement.

Despite these challenges, the school does have some potential strengths, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 44.66% indicates that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may require additional resources and support to ensure these students have the necessary resources to succeed academically.
