Summary:
The Clarkston, Michigan school district consists of 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. Overall, the district performs well above the state averages, with several standout schools that rank among the top in Michigan.
Clarkston High School is the district's top-performing high school, with a 5-star rating, a 96.8% graduation rate, and strong test scores. In contrast, the district's alternative schools, Renaissance Virtual School and Renaissance Alternative High School, have significantly lower performance on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and attendance. The district's elementary schools, such as Bailey Lake Elementary and Independence Elementary, also stand out with high test scores and 5-star ratings.
While the Clarkston Community School District as a whole performs well, there are some areas of concern, such as the district's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and the significant disparity in the racial makeup of the schools. The district may want to examine the performance and resource allocation of the alternative/virtual schools to ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
