Clinton Community Schools

The Clinton Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school), and no alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the range in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools.

The standout schools in the district are Clinton High School and Clinton Middle School. Clinton High School consistently ranks among the top 25% of Michigan high schools, with strong test scores and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate. Similarly, Clinton Middle School performs well, ranking in the top 25-30% of Michigan middle schools, particularly in 8th grade PSAT scores. In contrast, the two elementary schools in the district, Clinton Elementary School and David P Pray Preschool Latchkey Center, do not stand out as strongly, with some grade-level test scores at Clinton Elementary below the state average.

A key area of concern across all schools in the Clinton Community Schools district is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%. This is an issue the district should address to improve student learning and achievement. Additionally, the district serves students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the range in free/reduced lunch rates, which is an important consideration when analyzing school performance data and developing targeted strategies to support all students.
