Summary

Clinton Central Junior-Senior High School is a rural, combined grades 7–12 school in Michigantown, Indiana, serving about 375 students as the only secondary school in the Clinton Central School Corporation. It ranks 127th of 415 Indiana high schools (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26, placing it in the middle of the top half and on a five-year climb from the 52nd percentile in 2020-21, though still below its 2015-16 peak of the 77th percentile. Locally, it outperforms its nearest and most similar peers, including Frankfort High School five miles away, which sits at the 23rd percentile, but trails Western High School (92nd), Sheridan High School (86th) and Rossville Middle/Senior High School (85th).

The school’s clearest strengths are its graduation rate, science results and progress for low-income students. The 2024-25 graduation rate was 94.8%, up 8.6 points in two years and above the state’s 89.7%, although six nearby schools post higher rates. Biology end-of-course proficiency rose to 52.31%, above the prior year’s state figure and roughly even with Carroll Senior High School and Clinton Prairie Junior-Senior High School. Low-income students improved from the 34th to the 68th percentile in two years, while special-education results remain below median. Class sizes are favorable: a 12.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio is second-best locally, with $13,222 per-student spending and 44.5% free/reduced lunch.

The two biggest concerns are rising chronic absenteeism and weak junior-high math. Absenteeism has increased every year for five years, from 13.1% to 18.3%, now above the state’s 16.7% and higher than nearby rural peers. In math, 8th grade proficiency is just 12.28% versus 34.2% statewide, while 7th grade math and 11th-grade SAT math are at or slightly above state. The fairest comparison may be Clinton Prairie Junior-Senior High School, which has nearly identical poverty, spending and teacher ratio but much higher 8th-grade math (34.88%) and lower absenteeism (12.8%). That suggests Clinton Central’s weaknesses are addressable rather than demographic destiny. Overall, this is a small, adequately resourced, improving rural school whose next steps are clear: rebuild attendance and target junior-high math.
