Summary:
The city of Clinton, Kentucky is home to two schools - Hickman County Elementary School and Hickman County High School, both part of the Hickman County school district. The data shows that Hickman County High School is the standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 32-33 high schools in Kentucky and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Hickman County High School boasts an impressive 95.3% four-year graduation rate and its students outperform the state averages on several key assessments, including the ACT in English, Math, and Reading, as well as the Kentucky State Assessments in areas like Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Editing/Mechanics. In contrast, Hickman County Elementary School has more average performance, ranking in the middle 300s out of 685 elementary schools in the state, though it does have some bright spots like higher-than-state proficiency rates in 6th grade Math and 3rd-4th grade Reading.
Both schools serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the data shows the district is allocating resources efficiently, with relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools and per-student spending levels that support student learning. While the high school's science proficiency rates lag behind the state, the overall picture is one of a school district managing its challenges well and supporting student achievement.
