Clio Area School District

The Clio Area School District consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district is located in the Clio area and faces a range of challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and low test scores, particularly in Math, across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, Clio Elementary School and Clio Area High School have maintained 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top half of Michigan schools in their respective categories. Clio Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd grade are close to the district and state averages, while Clio Area High School's graduation rate of 82.8% is respectable, though its dropout rate of 7.6% is a bit higher than desired.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, well below average Math proficiency rates, and a wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a diverse socioeconomic population. The district's alternative school, Clio Community High School, also struggles with significantly lower test scores in Social Studies compared to the district and state averages, suggesting the need for additional support and resources for students in alternative education settings.
