Summary

Clinton Central Elementary School is a K–6 school at 725 N Sr 29 in Michigantown, Indiana, serving 527 students as part of the Clinton Central School Corporation, which ranks 109th of 374 Indiana districts (71st percentile, 4 stars). The school ranked 345th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 (66th percentile, 3 stars), placing it third among nearby schools with comparable data — behind Thorntown Elementary School (91st percentile) and Rossville Elementary School (77th), but ahead of Clinton Prairie Elementary School, Sheridan Elementary School, Western Intermediate School, Green Meadows Intermediate Elementary, Suncrest Elementary School and Boulevard Elementary School, which sit between the 30th and 54th percentiles. Its rank has slipped from 224th in 2022–2023, though it remains far above its 2015–2016 level of 567th.

Academically, all-grade proficiency is 48.71% in ELA, 51.66% in math and 38.21% in science. Math and ELA are solid locally — second and third among nearby schools — but science trails Thorntown, Rossville, Sheridan and Clinton Prairie. Grade-level results vary widely: 5th social studies (61.76%) and 6th ELA and math (57.69% each) are well above state, as are 5th ELA and 3rd ELA. Fourth grade is the clear red flag, with ELA at 29.58% — 12.62 points below the state and the lowest 4th-grade ELA result among nearby schools with data — plus below-state math and science. Science overall fell 10.64 points in a year, and math has declined from 56.80% in 2023–2024 to 51.66% in 2025–2026.

Chronic absenteeism is the sharpest difference from higher-performing neighbors: 18.7% in 2024–2025, versus 4.5% at Thorntown and 6.2% at Rossville, and above both the state (16.7%) and district (18.5%). About 49.91% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, down from 57.14% in 2022–2023, and per-student spending is $10,758 with a favorable student–teacher ratio of 14.4. Overall, the school is not in crisis — it outperforms several nearby schools in ELA and math — but 4th-grade support, science, the math trend and attendance are the areas to watch.
