Middle Schools in Clinton

The middle schools in Clinton, Oklahoma consist of Clinton Middle School and Washington Elementary School, both serving grades 5-8. While the schools share similarities in their student demographics and socioeconomic challenges, they exhibit some differences in their academic performance and rankings.

Clinton Middle School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 57th out of 407 schools in 2020-2021 to 111th out of 149 schools in 2022-2023. This suggests a decline in overall performance, with test scores generally below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Washington Elementary School does not have any statewide ranking information available, making it difficult to compare its performance to the state standards.

Both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, exceeding 79% at each institution. This indicates that the student population may be facing financial and resource constraints that could impact their academic achievement. Additionally, the schools have a majority Hispanic student population, with a notable percentage of Native American students as well. This diversity highlights the need for equitable access and support to ensure all students can succeed.
