Summary:
Clintonville, Wisconsin has three public schools — Clintonville Elementary School (PK–5), Clintonville Middle (6–8), and Clintonville High (9–12) — all in the Clintonville School District, serving a combined 1,121 listed students. The elementary is the largest school (505 students, about 45% of the total), followed by the high school (392, about 35%) and the middle school (224, about 20%).
The district itself ranks 311 of 432 districts — the 28th percentile, 1 star — but that is district context, not a school rating; all three schools show 2 stars in the latest 2025–2026 school-level rank history, and Clintonville Middle earned 3 stars in 2023–2024. The middle school looks strongest overall: the lowest chronic absenteeism (19.5%), a 0.0% dropout rate, the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.3), the highest latest rank percentile (45th), and strong 7th-grade results (ELA 59.15%, math 61.97%, both above state). Its weak spot is 6th grade, where ELA was 37.7% against the state's 54.95% and math was 39.34% against 53.6%. Clintonville Elementary has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (59.41%) and the lowest per-student spending ($13,475), yet posts the single strongest result in the data: 3rd-grade math at 66.67%, about 11.9 points above state. Its 5th grade lags, with math at 43.42% versus 51.81%.
Clintonville High spends the most per student ($16,007) and has a solid completion story — graduation at 92.4%, above the state's 92.0%, and dropout at 0.7%, below the state's 1.1%. But chronic absenteeism is 28.1%, the highest of the three and 10.8 points above the state's 17.3%, and ACT math (31.63%) and science (32.65%) trail state averages. All three schools exceed the state absenteeism rate, and spending and poverty levels do not line up neatly with results.
