Clinton School (the), New York NY

Original Research by School Decision on Clinton School (the)

Clinton School sits on East 15th Street in Greenwich Village, serving students in grades six through twelve. The school is a regular public school within NYC's Geographic District 2, which covers lower Manhattan including the East Village, parts of the West Village, and adjacent neighborhoods characterized by dense mixed-use development, high walkability, and subway-accessible street life. For families in this area, it is a local option integrated into the neighborhood's urban fabric rather than a separate campus.

The school enrolls a diverse student body in which about half the students identify as white, with substantial representation from students of multiracial background and Hispanic and Asian students. A modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a student population with mixed family economic backgrounds. State test data on special education enrollment and English learner counts are not available from the school.

In state testing across the grades Clinton reports results for, performance is above the midpoint among districts in New York County. In sixth-grade math and English language arts, the school shows solid proficiency in the high seventies to mid-eighties; seventh-grade results strengthen, with math proficiency in the low nineties and English proficiency in the high eighties. In eighth grade, English proficiency remains in the high eighties, though participation in eighth-grade math testing is not reported, and eighth-grade science testing likewise shows no reported results. A parent may want to ask the school directly about the eighth-grade math and science curriculum structure and why those grades are not appearing in state assessment data.

The school offers a six-through-twelve pathway, which means students can move through middle and high school in a single building. This setup differs from the traditional New York City middle-to-high transition and may affect school culture and peer relationships across the full span. Enrollment is spread fairly evenly across grades, with slightly larger cohorts in grade nine, suggesting the school maintains balanced class sizes from the point students enter in sixth grade through the final three years.

The surrounding neighborhood is walkable, dense, and transit-rich, with robust access to subway lines, parks, and cultural institutions. Housing values in the 10003 zip code are high and rising, as is rent; families relocating to the area or looking to buy should expect Manhattan's competitive real estate market. The city's broader economy centers on finance, professional services, technology, and hospitality, and New York has been in an active housing-growth cycle driven partly by office-to-residential conversion and zoning reforms.

State testing data from ninth grade and above are not included in the available results, and no graduation rate is reported for the school. A parent with a student approaching high school or interested in high school preparation and outcomes at Clinton should contact the school to discuss course offerings, college-preparation programming, and senior-year results.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
