Summary:
The city of Clinton, Illinois is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Clinton CUSD 15 district. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, with Clinton Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, while proficiency rates drop at the junior high and high school levels.
Clinton Elementary School boasts a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Clinton Junior High School and Clinton High School have lower proficiency rates, particularly in Math. Despite the performance gaps, Clinton High School maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89%.
A concerning issue across all schools in the district is the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant economic disadvantages, as evidenced by the high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may require additional resources and targeted interventions to support student success. The differences in per-student spending between the schools may also contribute to the performance disparities observed.
