Clinton

The Clinton school district in Oklahoma serves students from 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals that the schools in Clinton generally struggle with academic performance, with most schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories in the state.

Clinton High School stands out as a low-performing school, ranking 260 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools and having a 4-year graduation rate of only 80.1%. The school also struggles with academic proficiency, with only 30.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 8.5% in Mathematics. Similarly, Southwest Elementary School is ranked 382 out of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools and has significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The data also reveals that the schools in Clinton serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with all schools having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.54% at Clinton High School to 87.05% at Southwest Elementary School. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the academic challenges faced by the district. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Clinton High School compared to the elementary and middle schools may indicate an imbalance in resource allocation within the district, which could be an area for improvement.
