Clinton

The Clinton school district in Oklahoma serves a diverse student population across 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a concerning trend, with several schools consistently performing poorly on statewide assessments and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.

Clinton High School ranks 312 out of 350 Oklahoma high schools, with only 15% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in OSTP/Science, compared to the state average of 21%. Similarly, Southwest Elementary School ranks 313 out of 323 Oklahoma elementary schools, with only 14% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in OSTP/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 35%. Nance Elementary School also has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.02% to 80.5%, indicate significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the Clinton school district. This may contribute to the schools' low academic performance and the need for additional support and resources. The district's diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation, presents both opportunities and challenges in meeting the unique needs of different student groups. The lack of improvement over time in the schools' statewide rankings suggests a need for a comprehensive review of the district's strategies and interventions to address the persistent challenges and improve student outcomes.
