Summary:

ZIP code 37716 in Clinton, Tennessee, is served by 9 public schools — 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools (including an alternative academy) — educating roughly 4,097 students in grades K-12 across Clinton City Schools and Anderson County Schools. This district divide matters: Clinton City Schools rank in the 77th percentile statewide (4 stars), while Anderson County Schools rank in the 47th percentile (2 stars).

Among elementary schools, South Clinton Elementary School ranks highest in the ZIP, earning 4 stars with strong ELA (57.8%) and math (55.6%) proficiency and a low chronic absenteeism rate (11.4%). Grand Oaks Elementary School is the standout among Anderson County Schools, beating state averages in every subject — including 71.8% 5th-grade math proficiency — and climbing from the 64th to the 77th percentile. Clinton Elementary School excels in 6th-grade social studies (82.5% vs. 50.7% statewide) and has the lowest absenteeism (10.2%), though its rank slipped to the 68th percentile. By contrast, Dutch Valley Elementary School is the ZIP's lowest-performing school, with proficiency near 30% in core subjects, while North Clinton Elementary School has the highest chronic absenteeism (25.2%) and dropped from the 75th to the 58th percentile.

At the secondary level, Clinton High School ranks higher, beating state averages in Biology (55.0%), US History (53.3%), and Geometry (47.3%), but its graduation rate is just 87.4% with a 7.8% dropout rate. Anderson County High School has the opposite profile: more modest test scores but an excellent 96.3% graduation rate and a 2.0% dropout rate. Clinton Middle School trails state averages, yet its 8th-grade Algebra I students reach 75.9% proficiency versus 14.9% in general 8th-grade math. The Anderson County Innovation Academy spends $32,021 per student — more than double any other school — with low proficiency. Notably, higher spending doesn't guarantee success: Dutch Valley Elementary School spends the most among regular schools ($16,346) but scores lowest, while Clinton Elementary School spends the least ($12,097) and performs well.
