Opening
Doors
to a
Great
Education
2014
January 2014
Welcome to “Opening Doors to a Great Education -A School Guide for
Clintonville Families”. Schools in the Clintonville-area, whether public, parochial,
charter or private, provide excellent education choices for families.
Clintonville-area schools offer many opportunities for their students and families
and they want you to know it! The schools included in this booklet have provided
important information about their demographics, facilities, and programs for you
to review. Another resource for parents to research local schools is the
Clintonville Elementary and Middle School Fair that takes place every January.
Here administrators and representatives of many of these schools are available
to talk to you. Look for details in the Clintonville local paper in early January. We
also encourage you to contact the schools that you are interested in directly and
arrange a tour.
This guide was organized by the Clintonville Education Committee that was
formed in 2003 to be proactive on educational issues that relate to our
community. Special thanks to committee members Miriam Abbott, Mike
McLaughlin, and Mary Pajor as well as all the area schools for their contributions
to this guide. It would not have been published without the generosity of Mike
McLaughlin, Realtor for RE/Max Achievers.
Please use this guide as a resource for your family’s education decisions. Its
contents are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. If you would like to become
involved in the Clintonville Education Committee or have questions or comments,
please send an e-mail to ClintonvilleSchoolFair@gmail.com.
Best regards,
