Summary

Clintondale Middle School is a public middle school located in Clinton Township, Michigan, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 292 students. The school is part of the Clintondale Community Schools district, which is ranked 582 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Clintondale Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Michigan middle schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 646 and 852 out of around 800-900 middle schools.

Clintondale Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.7% of 6th graders and 22.4% of 7th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 38.6% and 39.2%, respectively. In math, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 14.8% of 6th graders and 3.95% of 7th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the state averages of 31.5% and 33.3%. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 65.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Clintondale Middle School to nearby middle schools, such as Jefferson Middle School (Lakeview Public Schools) and Wyandot Middle School (Chippewa Valley Schools), the academic performance gap is quite stark. These nearby schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher than Clintondale Middle School. The challenges at Clintondale Middle School appear to be closely tied to the high levels of poverty and chronic absenteeism among its student population, which likely contribute to the school's poor academic outcomes.
