Summary

Clinton Middle School, part of the Clinton Community Schools district in the small, rural community of Clinton, MI, serves 282 students in grades 6-8 and has earned a solid 4-star rating from the state for four consecutive years.

This school truly shines in two specific areas. First, 8th-grade Social Studies scores are exceptional, with 76.9% of students proficient—far above the state average of 50.3% and well ahead of nearby Tecumseh Middle School (54.2%) and Dundee Middle School (64.8%). Second, and most impressively, the school achieves outstanding results for students from low-income families. Despite over 30% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, this subgroup ranks in the 85th percentile statewide—a remarkable feat that puts it on par with much more affluent districts. The school also posts strong 8th-grade Science scores (54.4% proficient vs. 39.2% statewide).

However, performance in English and Math is more uneven. While 6th-grade scores in both subjects beat state averages, 7th-grade results dip below them—particularly in Math, where only 24.8% of students are proficient compared to the 33.3% state average. This suggests a potential area for improvement. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 41.8% in 2021-2022 to 18.8%—better than the state average of 27.9%. The school also operates efficiently, spending $13,423 per student, notably less than peers like Napoleon Middle School ($18,201) and Onsted Middle School ($18,092). While it doesn't match the top-tier scores of Beach Middle School or Saline Middle School, Clinton's ability to achieve strong results for all its students—especially those facing economic challenges—makes it a dependable, high-value choice for families in the area.
