Clinton Township School District

The Clinton Township School District in New Jersey operates three schools: Clinton Township Middle School, Patrick McGaheran Elementary School, and Round Valley Elementary School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is known for its strong academic performance, particularly at the middle school level.

Clinton Township Middle School stands out as a top-performing school, ranked 107 out of 743 New Jersey middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently achieves high proficiency rates on NJSLA tests, with over 58.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 49.5% or more proficient in Mathematics. Additionally, the school boasts a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, significantly outperforming the state average.

While Patrick McGaheran Elementary School and Round Valley Elementary School also perform well, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Additionally, all three schools have higher-than-desired chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of focus for the district. The significant disparity in spending per student across the schools suggests potential inequities in resource allocation that could be further investigated.
