Original Research by School Decision on Ac Edgerton Elementary School
AC Edgerton Elementary School was a regular public elementary school in Clio, Michigan, part of the Clio Area School District. The school is now closed, which is the single most important fact for any parent or resident encountering this profile. It no longer enrolls students, and families who would have attended this building are served by other schools within the district. Because the school has ceased operation, current enrollment figures, demographic breakdowns, free-or-reduced-price-lunch counts, and staffing details are not available in the data provided. The grade range is listed in a way that reflects its closed status rather than a normal span of grade levels.
The school does have a recent state testing record from its final operating period. On the Michigan M-STEP assessment for the most recent reported year, third-grade students at AC Edgerton showed proficiency rates that were modest in both core subjects. In English language arts, a somewhat higher share of tested students reached proficiency than in mathematics, where results were lower. A science result from an earlier testing year is also on record for fourth grade, and that proficiency rate was quite low, though the older date means it reflects a different cohort under different conditions. Participation rates for these assessments were not reported. These numbers give a snapshot of academic performance during the school's final years, but because the school is closed, they serve more as a historical record than as a guide for enrollment decisions. A parent interested in how Clio Area School District's current elementary schools are performing would want to look at the district's active buildings rather than this one.
Clio itself is a small, compact city within the Flint metropolitan area, sitting entirely inside Vienna Township but operating as its own municipal entity. Publicly reported sources describe a community with a historic downtown core along Vienna Street, selected for Michigan's Blueprints for Downtowns program as part of a market-driven strategy for downtown renewal and economic growth. The city retains a small-town character, with a handful of parks and a few miles of trails within its tight footprint. A historic railroad depot now serves as a museum, and freight rail still runs through town on what was once the Flint and Pere Marquette Railway. The city's population has been relatively stable with a slight decline over recent decades. Civic services include a regional fire authority shared with surrounding townships and a library system serving the broader Genesee County area. No major employers were identified in available sources, and no dedicated public transit system was found.
The housing market in the area around AC Edgerton, measured at the county and ZIP-code level, is relatively affordable compared with both state and national benchmarks. Typical home values in this ZIP code sit well below the Michigan statewide figure and considerably below the national figure, with recent year-over-year appreciation that has been strong in percentage terms. The median listing price in the broader Genesee County market has climbed over the past year, and homes are selling moderately quickly, with median days on market in the range of a month and a half. Estimated monthly mortgage costs for a typical home in this area are modest relative to many Michigan communities. Rental data was not available for this specific area. For families already in the Clio Area School District, the housing market remains comparatively accessible, though prices have been rising.
The Clio Area School District recently passed a bond proposal, publicly reported as a no-mill-rate-increase measure, that is funding HVAC upgrades, security enhancements, classroom modernization with new technology and furniture, and athletic facility improvements including synthetic turf and track resurfacing. Construction is ongoing across the district. These investments point to a district actively maintaining and improving its facilities, which may benefit students at the district's remaining operating schools. No information was available about specific academic programs, magnet status, Title I designation, discipline data, or course offerings at AC Edgerton, and given the closure, those gaps are expected rather than surprising.
For any parent reading this profile, the essential takeaway is that AC Edgerton Elementary School is no longer an active educational option. Its test results are a historical footprint. The surrounding community of Clio offers a small-town setting with affordable housing and an active downtown revitalization effort, and the school district it belongs to is investing in its remaining buildings. Families should direct their attention to the other elementary schools within Clio Area School District for current options.
