Summary:
ZIP code 53525 is served by a single public high school: Clinton Senior High, part of the Clinton Community School District in Clinton, Wisconsin. The school educates 312 students in grades 9–12, with 32.69% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending of $18,222, and a student-teacher ratio of 12.6. Because it is the only high school in the area, the most useful comparisons are between the school, its district, and the state of Wisconsin.
Its completion and attendance numbers are strong. Clinton Senior High graduates 98.8% of students — essentially tied with the district's 98.9% and well above Wisconsin's 92.0% — and its dropout rate is just 0.3%, compared with 0.6% for the district and 1.1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is 13.3%, below the state's 17.3% but higher than the district's 8.1%. In 2024–2025, the school beat the state in English Language Arts (59.70 vs. 48.62), Mathematics (44.78 vs. 42.73), and Science (44.78 vs. 43.42), while trailing in Social Studies (35.38 vs. 47.67). That year it ranked 215th of 431 schools, the 50th percentile with 3 stars.
The 2025–2026 results mark a sharp reversal. Proficiency fell to 42.65 in English Language Arts, 29.41 in Mathematics, 32.35 in Science, and 34.18 in Social Studies — below the state in all four subjects, where statewide figures were 48.47, 42.93, 43.20, and 48.25. The year-over-year drops of 17.05, 15.37, 12.43, and 1.20 points far exceed the small statewide changes, so this decline is not simply a state trend. The school's rank slipped to 380th of 533 — the 29th percentile with 1 star — and the district ranks 344th of 432, the 20th percentile with 1 star. For families, the key question is whether this is a one-year fluctuation or the start of a longer pattern.
