Summary

Clinton Middle School is a public middle school in Clinton, Oklahoma, serving 273 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Clinton School District, which is ranked 360 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Clinton Middle School has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 17.1% in 2023-2024 to 26.6% in 2024-2025 (significantly higher than the state average of 19%), the school's academic performance is a greater concern. Clinton Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 19% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 26%, and only 16% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well but Hispanic and English Language Learner students struggling.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Weatherford Middle School, Clinton Middle School generally underperforms. This suggests that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of resources, as Clinton Middle School's per-student spending ($8,725 in 2018-2019) is higher than Weatherford Middle School's ($7,207 in 2018-2019). The school's inconsistent performance over time and significant performance gaps between student subgroups indicate the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
