District-Level NCES Analysis
Clinton Community Schools operates 4 public schools serving 1,257 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Lenawee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,255 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 71.3% local, 26.5% state, and 2.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 29/100, ranked #646 of 707 in Michigan against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (18 AP courses district-wide), a 397.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 47.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.3% White, 4.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Clinton High School, with a diversity index of 20.2/100.
Its largest campus is Clinton Elementary School, enrolling 569 students (47% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Clinton Virtual Jrsr High School, at 8 students, a 71x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Clinton Elementary School accounts for 45.3% of all Clinton Community Schools student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Clinton Community Schools a distant remainder — means Clinton Community Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Clinton Community Schools school enrollment varies 71× across entities
Clinton Community Schools school enrollment ranges from 8 students (lowest) to 569 students (highest), a spread of 561 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Clinton Community Schools student-counselor ratio is 397:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Clinton Community Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 47.7% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
