Summary:
The city of Clinton, Wisconsin is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Clinton Elementary, Clinton Senior High, and Clinton Junior High, all part of the Clinton Community School District. While Clinton Elementary outperforms district and state averages in several academic areas, the secondary schools show mixed results, with Clinton Senior High excelling in graduation and attendance rates but lagging behind in academic performance.
Clinton Elementary stands out as the top performer, with strong academic results across subjects like math, social studies, and science. In contrast, Clinton Senior High has the highest 4-year graduation rate at 97.8% and the lowest dropout rate at 0.5%, but its students underperform the district and state averages in subjects like social studies, English, math, and science. Clinton Junior High has a more varied performance, with some grades exceeding district and state benchmarks in English and math, while others fall behind.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as all three schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.9% at Clinton Senior High to 41.54% at Clinton Elementary. Spending per student also varies, with Clinton Senior High spending the most at $13,776 per student and Clinton Elementary spending the least at $11,459 per student. These disparities suggest the need for the district to allocate resources and support to address the unique needs of its student population and ensure equitable opportunities across all schools.
