Clintondale Promise
Our Values
Chart a lifetime of intellectual curiosity and forge lifelong relationships as part of our small community at Clintondale Community Schools!
Accountability
We set higher standards for students, measuring their learning goals, and then providing incentives in the form of rewarding achievement in an effort to ensure all students are getting a good education and tax dollars aren’t wasted.
Achievement
Each grade level has specific standards that educators must teach. Achievement is assessed through frequent progress and comprehension checks and examinations, however, there is no consensus on how it is best evaluated.
Equity
The plan is to provide personalized resources needed for all students to reach common goals. The goals and expectations are the same for all, but the supports needed to achieve those goals depends on the students’ individual needs.
Hard Work
At Clintondale Schools, students are trying their best, giving 100% effort in every grade, on every day, in every class, and utilizing all their resources in order to achieve the goals established by the district's exceptional teachers and staff.
Community
Clintondale Schools encompasses the administrators, teachers, and staff; the students who attend our schools and their parents and families; and local residents and organizations that have a stake in our district's success.

Why Clintondale
hear from our experts
“This is a small thriving district with a family-like culture and that is what helps us build relationships with students and families. Students get more attention and tailored support to address their needs and learning objectives. Being a school psychologist has been rewarding as I see students grow throughout their entire educational tenure.”
“Some of my proudest accomplishments have been being able to encourage and push students to graduate and then watch them proudly walk across the stage and thank me. Everyone in our district has the drive to help your child succeed."
“We take care of each other. We work as a team. We are here for the success of our students. It takes a village to raise a child. Clintondale Community Schools embodies this.”
“I tell prospective parents that their child will receive many opportunities here at Clintondale that they may not get at larger districts. Because we are a small district, students get more attention. Our students feel like the staff really cares about them because in many cases we have small-class sizes and the teachers can offer the students more individualized attention."
