Summary

Charles C McGlinnen School is an elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Clinton Township, Michigan, with a student population of 208. The school is part of the Clintondale Community Schools district, which is ranked 582 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Charles C McGlinnen consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Michigan elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.4% of 3rd graders, 17.5% of 4th graders, and 8.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 38.9%, 42.4%, and 44.4%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 4.11% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 32.9%.

Interestingly, the nearby Walt Disney Elementary School and Clinton Valley Elementary School, which are part of the Fraser Public Schools and Chippewa Valley Schools districts, respectively, generally outperform Charles C McGlinnen School and the broader Clintondale Community Schools district on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the challenges facing Charles C McGlinnen School and the Clintondale district may require a comprehensive review and implementation of more effective educational strategies to support student success.
