Summary:
The 52732 zip code in Iowa is home to a single high school, Clinton High School, which is part of the Clinton Community School District. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has faced challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its below-average performance on various metrics compared to the state.
Clinton High School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 291 out of 338 high schools in 2023-2024 to 296 out of 336 in 2022-2023. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 88.3% is below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by ISASP test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels.
Despite the school's lower performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. However, this does not seem to be translating into better academic results. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 47.84%, indicates that it serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which may be a contributing factor to the school's challenges. While the school's spending per student is above the state average, it appears that factors other than funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be more significant contributors to the school's performance.
