Middle Schools in Clinton

Summary:

Clinton, Missouri has only one middle school, Clinton Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a ranking of 250 out of 451 Missouri middle schools in 2023-2024 to 314 out of 459 schools in 2022-2023, and is currently ranked 236 out of 438 schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Clinton Middle School struggles to meet state proficiency averages, with lower-than-average scores on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests in mathematics, science, and English language arts. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.8% is also higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively low-income student population, with over 51% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly lower, these factors have not translated into strong academic performance. The data suggests that Clinton Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges it faces, such as improving student attendance and academic outcomes, in order to better serve its students and the Clinton community.
