Clinton

The Clinton school district in Tennessee consists of three elementary schools: Clinton Elementary, South Clinton Elementary, and North Clinton Elementary. Among these, Clinton Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, ranking 158th out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clinton Elementary outperforms the other two schools and the state average on most academic measures, including proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies. In contrast, South Clinton Elementary and North Clinton Elementary lag behind, with proficiency rates below the state average in most subject areas and grade levels.

Interestingly, the data suggests that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic performance. North Clinton Elementary, which has the highest spending per student, performs the worst among the three schools. Additionally, the schools with lower student-teacher ratios do not necessarily outperform the school with a higher ratio, indicating that factors other than student-teacher ratio, such as teaching quality and curriculum, may play a more significant role in student achievement.
