Summary

Clinton High School is a mid-sized public high school in Clinton, MI, serving about 341 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Clinton Community Schools district. This school stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 98.7%—the highest in the region and nearly 15 points above the state average—along with a dropout rate of just 1.3%.

Academically, Clinton excels in English Language Arts and Social Studies, with proficiency rates that beat state averages by 15-21 percentage points. Its Social Studies proficiency of 64.4% is particularly strong. The school has earned a 4-star rating every year for a decade, never ranking below the 72nd percentile statewide. When compared to nearby Tecumseh High School—its closest academic peer just 4 miles away—Clinton wins on graduation rate (98.7% vs. 91.4%) but trails in SAT math proficiency (36.5% vs. 40.1%). Notably, Clinton achieves these results with efficient spending of $14,507 per student, far less than Manchester Junior/Senior High School, which spends over $30,000 per student for similar outcomes.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which jumped to 31.7% in 2024-2025—more than double Tecumseh's rate of 15.3% and above the state average. This is puzzling given the school's strong test scores, suggesting that students who attend regularly are well-supported. The school also shows a gender gap in performance, with female students ranking in the 90th percentile versus males at the 84th. Science scores have been volatile, dipping below state averages in 2024-2025 before rebounding strongly. Despite these challenges, Clinton's decade of consistent excellence and top-tier graduation rates make it a reliable, high-quality choice for families in the area.
