Clawson Public Schools

Summary:

The Clawson Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Paul A Schalm School and Kenwood Elementary School), 1 middle school (Clawson Middle School), and 1 high school (Clawson High School). The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Clawson Middle School stands out as the highest performing school in the district, ranking in the top 25% of Michigan middle schools for the past 3 years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, are consistently above the district and state averages. Kenwood Elementary School also performs well, with strong 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates.

However, the district faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 29.5% in 2023-2024. Additionally, Clawson High School has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a dropout rate of 7.6%, which are areas for potential concern. The district also serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 35.71% to 41.67% across the schools.
