Clinton Central School Corporation

Clinton Central School Corporation serves about 902 students across two schools in Indiana: Clinton Central Elementary School for grades K–6 (527 students) and Clinton Central Junior-Senior High School for grades 7–12 (375 students). The district has no standalone middle school, so the middle grades are housed inside the junior-senior high. At the district level, Clinton Central School Corporation ranks 109th of 374 Indiana districts — the 71st percentile — with a 4-star district rating, even though both individual schools show 3 stars in their 2025–2026 rank histories.

The junior-senior high is the stronger performer on completion: its graduation rate is 94.8%, well above Indiana's 89.7%, and it has climbed from the 63rd to the 69th percentile over three years. Biology EOC improved sharply, from 35.71% to 52.31%, and 7th grade ELA, 7th grade math, and SAT math all edge past state rates. The major concern is 8th grade math at 12.28% versus the state's 34.2% — the lowest score in the data — which pulls overall high-school math down to 25.21%.

The elementary school shines in the upper grades: 6th grade ELA and math both reach 57.69% (roughly 16–17 points above state), 5th grade ELA is 54.41%, and 5th grade social studies is 61.76%, up from 41.38%. But 4th grade falls below state in ELA (29.58% vs 42.2%), math (45.07% vs 52%), and science (36.62% vs 43.8%), and elementary science overall dropped from 48.85% to 38.21%. The elementary rank has slipped from the 73rd to the 66th percentile. Chronic absenteeism runs above state at both schools (18.7% and 18.3%, versus 16.7% statewide).
