Summary

Clinton Valley Elementary School in Mount Clemens, MI, is a mid-sized PK-5 school within the Chippewa Valley Schools district, serving 322 students in an area where a significant portion of families (about 57%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Looking at the big picture, Clinton Valley faces real academic hurdles. The school's overall state ranking has hovered in the lower quarter of Michigan elementary schools for the past decade, and it currently sits in the 24th percentile—well below its own district's strong 64th percentile ranking. Math is a persistent challenge across all grade levels, with proficiency rates (roughly 11-18%) running at about half or less of district averages. Social studies is another major concern: only 5% of 5th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, a steep drop that's actually lower than nearby Seminole Academy (8%), a school in the much lower-performing Mount Clemens Community School District. Chronic absenteeism also affects 28% of students, which is higher than the district average and likely contributes to these struggles.

However, the picture isn't uniformly bleak. Clinton Valley shows a notable strength in serving its African American students, who ranked in the 56th percentile statewide—a stark contrast to the school's overall 1-star rating. The school also demonstrated strong 3rd-grade reading scores in recent years (around 48-52% proficiency, above state averages), though that figure dropped sharply to 23% in the most recent year, suggesting possible instability in instruction or student cohorts. It's also worth noting that Clinton Valley spends more per student ($14,958) than several higher-performing nearby schools like Walt Disney Elementary ($13,977) and Mt Clemens Montessori Academy ($11,866), which raises questions about how resources are being used. For parents, this school offers some bright spots but clearly needs targeted support in math, social studies, and addressing attendance issues.
