Clinton School District

Summary:

The Clinton School District in Connecticut operates three schools: Lewin G. Joel Junior School (an elementary school), The Morgan School (a high school), and Jared Eliot School (a middle school). The district as a whole is ranked 86th out of 156 districts in Connecticut and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.

Among the three schools, The Morgan School stands out as a high performer, ranking 50th out of 141 Connecticut high schools and maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.4%. The school also outperforms the state and district averages in SAT/English Language Arts and NGSS/Science proficiency for 11th-grade students. Meanwhile, Jared Eliot School demonstrates strong performance in SBAC/Mathematics and NGSS/Science, with 70.7% and 62% of 8th-grade students proficient or better, respectively, exceeding the state and district averages.

However, all three schools in the Clinton School District share a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there is significant variation in spending per student, with Lewin G. Joel Junior School spending over $2,400 more per student than The Morgan School, raising questions about resource allocation and equity within the district.
