Summary:
The 73601 zip code area is home to two middle schools: Washington Elementary School and Clinton Middle School, both part of the Clinton school district. While the schools share some similarities, such as high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, they also exhibit distinct differences in academic performance.
Washington Elementary School stands out for its higher percentage of students proficient or better in OSTP/Science across all grades, at 29% compared to the Clinton district's 24% and the state's 30%. In contrast, Clinton Middle School excels in OSTP/English Language Arts I for 8th grade, with 47% of students proficient or better, matching the Clinton district average but outpacing the state's 40%.
Both schools, however, face challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates of 19% for both, higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools' performance in other subject areas is generally below the state average, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes. The significant reliance on free and reduced-price lunch programs at both schools also indicates the presence of socioeconomic challenges in the community that may impact student learning and engagement.
