North Clinton Elementary

North Clinton Elementary serves 178 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Clinton, Tennessee. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1, classes stay small, giving students consistent access to direct instruction and individualized attention. The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10, rated Exceptional — the highest performance tier on MySchoolScout.

It ranks 13th out of 1,785 public schools statewide and outperforms 99% of Tennessee schools, a result driven by strong marks in both academics (9.1) and growth (9.8). That growth score is particularly telling: it reflects how much students advance year over year, independent of where they started. North Clinton also ranks 12th among 1,002 elementary schools in Tennessee, placing it among a very small group of consistently high-performing schools at this level.

Within Clinton itself, North Clinton Elementary ranks first out of 10 schools. Families comparing options in Anderson County will find a public school that competes with the top tier of any school type across the state. The combination of a manageable enrollment, low student-teacher ratio, and near-perfect growth score makes this school a concrete benchmark worth examining closely during a school search.

With an enrollment of 178 students, North Clinton Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
