Summary:
The Clio Area School District in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Clio Elementary and Clio Intermediate School. While both schools face some challenges, they also have areas of strength that are worth highlighting.
One notable trend is the declining statewide ranking of Clio Intermediate School, which has dropped from 515th out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 809th out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school may be facing difficulties compared to its peers. Additionally, both Clio Elementary and Clio Intermediate School have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, at 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.
In terms of academic performance, both schools have lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state averages for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. However, Clio Intermediate School's 5th-grade proficiency rates in Science (43.2%) and Social Studies (26.5%) are closer to or above the state averages. Additionally, the schools face socioeconomic challenges, with Clio Elementary having a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 71.72% in 2023-2024, and Clio Intermediate School also having a high free and reduced lunch rate at 65.41% in 2023-2024.
