Summary

Clinton Elementary School is a small, rural PK-6 school in Clinton, LA, serving 189 students within the East Feliciana Parish school district, where 87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has shown a remarkable turnaround in recent years, climbing from the bottom 5% of Louisiana elementary schools in 2019 to the 32nd percentile in 2025, earning a consistent 2-star rating. The most impressive change has been in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from 31% in 2023 to just 14.6% in 2025—now better than both the district and state averages—signaling a stronger school culture and family engagement.

Clinton Elementary’s standout strength is its English Language Arts (ELA) program, especially in upper grades. While the school’s overall ELA proficiency (69%) matches the state average, 85% of 6th graders are proficient, far outpacing the state (74%) and nearby Jackson Elementary School (69%). This “Clinton ELA Advantage” suggests effective literacy instruction that prepares students well for middle school. However, the school struggles in math (44% proficiency vs. 62% statewide) and social studies (37% vs. 55%), creating a clear academic profile of literacy strength with critical gaps in other subjects.

With a student-teacher ratio of just 11:1, Clinton Elementary offers the smallest class sizes among nearby schools like Slaughter Elementary (16.9:1) and Live Oak Elementary (13.5:1), allowing for individualized attention. While the school performs well for its context, it operates in a different league than high-performing schools in neighboring Livingston Parish and Zachary Community School District, which are 4- and 5-star schools with significantly higher test scores. For parents, Clinton Elementary represents a school on a clear upward trajectory, with a strong literacy program and improving attendance, but with notable work needed in math and social studies.
