Summary:
Clintonville School District in Wisconsin serves about 1,121 students across three schools — one elementary, one middle, and one high school covering PK–12 — with no alternative schools. Clintonville Elementary School is the largest, with 505 students in PK–5, followed by Clintonville High with 392 students in grades 9–12, and Clintonville Middle with 224 students in grades 6–8. The district ranks 311th of 432 Wisconsin districts, in the 28th percentile with 1 star, though each of its three schools earned 2 stars in 2025–2026: Clintonville Middle at the 45th percentile, Clintonville Elementary School at the 43rd, and Clintonville High at the 37th.
Among the three, Clintonville Middle has the strongest current standing: the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.3), the lowest chronic absenteeism (19.5%), a 0.0% dropout rate, and above-state results in 7th grade ELA (59.15%), 7th grade math (61.97%), and 8th grade math (57.89%). Its 6th grade is the district's clearest weak spot, with ELA at 37.7% and math at 39.34%, both far below state. Clintonville Elementary School has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (59.41%) and lowest per-student spending ($13,475), yet posts the district's biggest bright spot: 3rd grade math at 66.67% versus 54.75% statewide. Clintonville High has the best graduation rate (92.4%) and a low dropout rate (0.7%), but the highest chronic absenteeism (28.1%) and large ACT math (31.63%) and science (32.65%) gaps.
For families, the key takeaways: every Clintonville school is above the state's 17.3% chronic absenteeism rate, with the high school 10.8 points above it. The elementary's early math strength fades by 5th grade (43.42%). Spending doesn't track outcomes — the high school spends the most ($16,007) yet shows the largest STEM gaps. Rank trends are mixed: the high school improved (32 → 30 → 37), the middle slipped from 3 stars in 2023–2024, and the elementary drifted down (49 → 45 → 43).
