Summary

Clinton Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Clinton Central School District in Clinton, New York. With 283 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9.8, the school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of New York middle schools over the past 10 years, currently ranking 503 out of 1,500 middle schools statewide.

Clinton Middle School students consistently outperform the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments across all grade levels. In 2024-2025, 52.05% of 6th graders, 56.38% of 7th graders, and 54.26% of 8th graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 50.86%, 50.99%, and 52.38% respectively. In Math, the school's proficiency rates were even more impressive, with 69.57% of 6th graders, 71.74% of 7th graders, and 47.06% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 51.2%, 56.47%, and 46.74%. Clinton Middle School students also excel in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in both Living Environment and Algebra I in 2024-2025, significantly outperforming the state averages.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Sauquoit Valley Middle School, Clinton Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math across all grade levels. However, the school's performance disparities among subgroups, particularly for students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicate areas for improvement. Addressing these gaps and maintaining the school's overall academic excellence should be key priorities for the Clinton Central School District.
