Summary

Clinton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Clinton, Maine, with 241 students. It is part of the Regional School Unit 49/Maine School Admin District 49, which is ranked 140 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clinton Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 18.1% to 32.8%, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have also been below the state and district averages in recent years, with only 53.45% of students proficient or better in ELA and 41.03% in Math, compared to 63.84% and 49.38% statewide, respectively. Additionally, Clinton Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.2% to 62.4% in recent years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Clinton Elementary to other schools in the same district, such as Albion Elementary, Fairfield Primary, and Benton Elementary, it generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. However, Clinton Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11 to 12.5 students per teacher in recent years, which could be a potential strength. Compared to schools outside of the Regional School Unit 49 district, such as Vickery School, Canaan Elementary, and Winslow Elementary, Clinton Elementary generally lags behind these schools in terms of test scores and overall performance.
