Clinton Elementary

Summary:

Clinton Elementary is a public elementary school serving 532 students in grades PK-6 in Clinton, Wisconsin, which is part of the Clinton Community School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas, with some variations in performance between different student subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Sharon Community and Darien Elementary tend to outperform Clinton Elementary in academic achievement. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 208 out of 1,071 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 603 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024, suggesting a declining performance trend. However, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students is relatively strong, and the school has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, which is a positive sign.

The school's socioeconomic challenges may be contributing to its lower academic performance, as 41.54% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. The Clinton Community School District is ranked 360 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, which may also be a factor in the school's performance. Overall, Clinton Elementary faces some challenges, but there are also some positive trends that the school can build upon.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
