Best Public Schools in Clintonville, NY

Summary:

The city of Clintonville, New York is home to two public schools: Ausable Valley High School and Ausable Valley Middle School, both part of the Ausable Valley Central School District. These schools serve students from grades 7 through 12 and face significant challenges, with both institutions performing below state averages on key metrics.

Neither Ausable Valley High School nor Ausable Valley Middle School stand out as exceptional performers. The high school had a four-year graduation rate of 84.3% in 2023-2024, which is below the state average, and a dropout rate of 4.5%, which is higher than the state average. On Regents exams, the school had mixed results, with some subject areas above the state average and others well below.

At the middle school level, Ausable Valley Middle School struggled even more, with very low proficiency rates on the 7th and 8th grade state assessments, most of which were well below the state average. Both schools serve a high-need student population, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes, suggesting that simply increasing funding and resources may not be enough to improve performance.
