Summary:
The Clinton Elementary district in Montana has two schools - Clinton School, an elementary school, and Clinton 7-8, a middle school. The district as a whole is ranked 214th out of 387 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the data, the standout school appears to be Clinton 7-8, the middle school. It has consistently ranked higher than the elementary school in the statewide rankings, reaching as high as 29th out of 190 Montana middle schools in 2021-2022. The middle school's test scores are significantly higher than the elementary school's in both English Language Arts (51.92% vs. 29.76% proficient) and Mathematics (51.92% vs. 22.09% proficient) for the 2024-2025 school year. While the elementary school's science proficiency is higher, the middle school's overall academic performance seems stronger.
Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, over 45%, indicating a low-income student population. The district's overall ranking and 2-star rating suggest room for improvement across the district. Identifying the factors contributing to the middle school's stronger performance could provide valuable insights for improving the elementary school's outcomes. The small enrollment, especially at the middle school level, may also be a factor to consider in terms of resource allocation and program offerings.
