Summary:
The 49236 zip code is home to a single middle school, Clinton Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Clinton Community Schools district. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, from 173 out of 883 Michigan middle schools in 2022-2023 to 254 out of 890 in 2024-2025, it continues to face challenges in academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student success.
Clinton Middle School's test score performance varies across different subjects and grade levels, but generally lags behind state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 6th grade ELA proficiency was 24.8% at the school compared to 38.6% statewide. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 40.98% in 2023-2024, indicating that it may face additional challenges in supporting its student population, who may have greater social and economic needs.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,210 for the 2023-2024 school year, it has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Addressing attendance issues and improving academic outcomes could be key areas of focus for the school as it works to better support its students and improve its overall performance.
