District-Level NCES Analysis
Clintondale Community Schools operates 6 public schools serving 1,823 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Macomb County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,870 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 23.9% local, 59.3% state, and 16.8% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 59/100, ranked #202 of 707 in Michigan against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 291.7:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 44.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 65.7% African American, 21.1% White, 3.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Charles C Mcglinnen School, with a diversity index of 64.0/100.
Its largest campus is Charles C Mcglinnen School, enrolling 409 students (22% of the district's total enrollment).
Charles C Mcglinnen School accounts for 21.9% of all Clintondale Community Schools student enrollment
That concentration means Clintondale Community Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Clintondale Community Schools has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 82.8% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Clintondale Community Schools student-counselor ratio is 292:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Clintondale Community Schools is typically wider than the Clintondale Community Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Clintondale Community Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 44.7% — 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.
