Summary

Clintonville Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in North Haven, CT, serving 372 students as part of the North Haven School District, a top-rated district with a 4-star designation. Clintonville itself earns 4 stars and ranks 118th out of 491 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 76th percentile — a meaningful improvement from its 57th–65th percentile range over the prior seven years. Within North Haven, however, it is currently the lowest-ranked of the district's four elementary schools: Green Acres Elementary School ranks 49th, Montowese Elementary School 81st, and Ridge Road Elementary School 92nd.

Academically, Clintonville is consistently well above state averages — often by 20 percentage points or more — though it generally trails its district peers. Fifth grade is a standout: 78.1% proficiency in math, which beats the district average, and 75% in ELA, more than 21 points above the state. Fifth grade science has also been strong, reaching 80.6% in 2023–2024. The soft spot is early elementary math: 3rd grade math has lagged the district in three of the last four years, including a 62.5% proficiency rate in 2025–2026 versus the district's 74.1%. There is also notable year-to-year volatility across grade levels, which may reflect natural differences between cohorts but suggests consistency remains a work in progress.

Clintonville shines in attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.1% — the lowest among nearby schools and well below the state's 16.4%. Its student-to-teacher ratio of 11.1 is also favorable. The school's free/reduced-price lunch rate of 26.61% is the highest among North Haven elementaries but far below the 50%+ rates seen at many East Haven and Hamden schools. At $14,802 per student, Clintonville spends the least among nearby schools yet still posts strong results. The contrast with Wintergreen Interdistrict Magnet School, located just 0.51 miles away, is stark: Wintergreen is ranked 447th with 23.9% chronic absenteeism. Within the wider region, Clintonville clearly outperforms schools like Totoket Valley Elementary School, Pond Hill School, and Dominick H. Ferrara School — particularly in 5th grade math and ELA — making it one of the stronger elementary options in the area.
