Summary

Clinton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 584 students in grades K-5 in Clinton, Michigan. The school is part of the Clinton Community Schools district, which is ranked 178 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Clinton Elementary School has some areas of strength, it also faces significant challenges. The school has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.2% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. Its test scores on the M-Step assessments are mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, while others lag behind. The school also has a higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.08% to 45.89%, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Heritage School in the Saline Area Schools district, Clinton Elementary School's performance falls behind in both test scores and overall school rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing institutions. Addressing the root causes of the school's chronic absenteeism and developing a more consistent and effective instructional approach across all grade levels and subject areas could be important focus areas for improvement.
