Summary:

The Laurens 56 school district in South Carolina has only one middle school, Clinton Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the middle range of South Carolina middle schools, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale.

Academically, Clinton Middle excels in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, with a proficiency rate significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school struggles in SC READY English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in 8th grade Mathematics, where the proficiency rate is much lower than the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is also a concern.

Socioeconomically, Clinton Middle serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is relatively low compared to the state. Addressing the school's academic weaknesses and high chronic absenteeism rate could be crucial in improving the overall performance and outcomes for the students at Clinton Middle.
