Summary:

The Clinton Community School District in Iowa serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school.

Among the district's schools, Whittier Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with consistently high test scores and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Jefferson Elementary School appears to be the lowest-performing school, with significantly lower test scores than the other elementary schools. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and significant disparities in academic performance between schools.

Across the district, there are high levels of economic disadvantage, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 39.47% at Whittier Elementary to 71.71% at Jefferson Elementary. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $12,691 at Whittier Elementary to $16,691 at Clinton High School, raises questions about resource allocation and whether some schools are being underfunded compared to others.
