Summary

North Clinton Elementary is a public elementary school in Clinton, Tennessee, serving 178 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clinton District, which is ranked 17 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Clinton Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom quartile to the middle quartile of Tennessee elementary schools. While the school's performance in Mathematics and English Language Arts has generally been below the district and state averages, it has excelled in the "Low Socio-Economic Status Students" subgroup, ranking in the top 5% of Tennessee elementary schools in this category. However, the school's performance in the "Female Students" and "Male Students" subgroups has been more mixed, with female students outperforming male students in recent years. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.4% to 27.7%, are a significant concern and may be contributing to its overall academic challenges.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Glenwood Elementary and South Clinton Elementary, North Clinton Elementary generally performs below the district and state averages in Mathematics and English Language Arts, with a few exceptions, such as 4th-grade ELA. The nearby schools have consistently outperformed North Clinton Elementary in academic achievement, suggesting there may be opportunities for North Clinton to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools.
