Summary

Clio Middle School, part of the Clio Area School District, serves 564 students in grades 6-8 and has earned a 3-star rating, ranking in the 57th percentile statewide—a notable jump from the previous year's 2-star rating.

What truly sets Clio Middle School apart is its remarkable success with students who often face the biggest challenges. The school ranks in the 77th percentile statewide for academic progress among its Special Education students, earning a 4-star rating—an exceptional achievement that outshines many nearby schools. Similarly, students from low-income backgrounds (65% of the student body qualifies for free/reduced lunch) have consistently scored in the 57th-60th percentile for three straight years. This means Clio is helping its most vulnerable learners thrive, outperforming schools with similar demographics like Armstrong Middle School in the Kearsley Community School District, where proficiency rates lag significantly behind. While Clio doesn't reach the heights of EF Rittmueller Middle School in Frankenmuth School District (a consistent 90th-percentile performer), it far surpasses struggling Flint-area schools like Holmes STEM Middle School Academy and Hamady Middle School.

Academically, Clio shows clear growth as students advance. ELA proficiency jumps from 23.7% in 6th grade to 40.6% by 7th grade, and the 8th-grade cohort is particularly strong—72.6% scored proficient on the PSAT English Language Arts exam, nearly 8 points above the state average, and they also beat state averages in PSAT Math. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 48.3% to 26.2%, now slightly better than the state average. With per-student spending of $14,650 and a student-teacher ratio of 19.7, Clio offers solid resources, though class sizes run higher than some neighbors like KuehnHaven Middle School. Overall, Clio Middle School is on a positive trajectory, delivering strong results for students who need the most support.
