Summary

Clinton Elementary is a public PK–6 school in Clinton, WI, serving 541 students in the Clinton Community School District. The district ranks 344th of 432 Wisconsin districts (20th percentile, 1 star), while the school ranked 683rd of 1,039 schools in 2025–2026 (34th percentile, 2 stars), down from 517th of 1,044 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025. Clinton Elementary reached the 81st percentile and 4 stars in 2016–2017, but has generally been a 2–3 star school since. Among nearby schools, it has the largest enrollment and broadest grade span (PK–6), and it ranks above its district’s percentile.

Attendance is a major strength: chronic absenteeism was 4.6% in 2024–2025, versus 8.1% in the district and 17.3% statewide, improving from 14.0% in 2021–2022. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 40.85%, lower than Sharon Community, Darien Elementary, Todd Elementary, Robinson Elementary, Converse Elementary, Hackett Elementary, Jackson Elementary, and Merrill Elementary, but higher than Garden Prairie Intermediate School; it is close to Powers Elementary. Spending was $16,355 per student in 2024–2025, up from $11,341 in 2021–2022, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 13:1.

Academically, 2025–2026 Forward Exam results were below Wisconsin in most ELA and math grades, though 4th grade math and social studies were strengths; 5th grade ELA and math have been below the state every year shown. The 2024–2025 year was stronger, so the latest dip deserves watching. Subgroup results are uneven: English learners rank relatively well (67th percentile, 3 stars in 2025–2026), while low-income students and students with disabilities rank lower. Compared with nearby Beloit School District schools, Clinton Elementary has much lower absenteeism and higher proficiency, but Sharon Community (62nd percentile, 3 stars, 1.1% chronic absenteeism) and Garden Prairie Intermediate School (53rd percentile, 3 stars) outperform it despite higher poverty at Sharon Community. Jackson Elementary has a similar rank but much higher poverty and stronger 5th grade results. Powers Elementary has no test-score or rank history in the provided data.
