Summary:
The Clinton County R-III school district in Missouri consists of 3 schools: Ellis Elementary, Plattsburg High, and Clinton County R-III Middle. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some diversity at the elementary level. While the middle school shows promising performance in 8th grade Science, the elementary school struggles with low proficiency rates, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.
Ellis Elementary has the highest enrollment with 341 students, but its academic performance lags behind the district and state averages. In contrast, Plattsburg High has the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 31.03%, suggesting a more affluent student population. Clinton County R-III Middle stands out with its strong 8th grade Science proficiency, but the district as a whole is ranked 207 out of 376 in Missouri and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement across the board.
The relatively low student-teacher ratios across the district, ranging from 9:1 at Plattsburg High to 13.2:1 at Clinton County R-III Middle, could be an asset, but the data does not indicate whether these ratios are translating into strong academic outcomes. The high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at Clinton County R-III Middle, suggest a need to address socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student achievement across the district.
