Summary

Clinton Elementary serves 413 students in grades K–6 in Garden Grove, within the Garden Grove Unified area. In 2025–26, 36% of students met proficiency in English language arts, 27% in math and 22% in science—below both state and district results in all three subjects. The biggest concern is math: Clinton’s result was 25 points below the district and 11 points below the state.

Compared with the six nearby K–6 schools in the same district, Clinton had the lowest ELA and math results; its science result was higher than those at Woodbury Elementary and C. C. Violette Elementary, but lower than the other four. Its math score was 16 points below the six-school average, making it the clearest relative weakness. Fifth-grade results stand out: just 20% met the math standard, 17 points below the state result for that grade. Attendance is a counterpoint: chronic absenteeism was 10% in 2025–26, below the district’s 13% and state’s 18%, and second-lowest among 11 nearby schools.

Results have weakened over the four years reported: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 6 points and math fell 11, while science rose 2 points. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also declined, from the 55th percentile and 3 stars in 2022–23 to the 31st percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26; the district is at the 77th percentile with 4 stars. Clinton’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 24.2:1, the middle value among 11 nearby schools, and 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. In SchoolDigger’s 2023–24 statewide rankings, English Language Learner Students ranked at the 71st percentile, compared with 38th overall, indicating a notably stronger measured standing for that group; Asian Students ranked at the 10th percentile, below the school’s overall 38th percentile. These subgroup rankings are older than the latest overall ranking.
