Summary:
The city of Frankfort, Michigan is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Frankfort Elementary School and Frankfort High School, which are part of the Frankfort-Elberta Area Schools district. While Frankfort High School is a standout performer, ranking among the top high schools in Michigan, Frankfort Elementary appears to have room for improvement on several academic metrics.
Frankfort High School consistently ranks highly, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting a strong 90.0% four-year graduation rate and relatively low 7.5% dropout rate. Its students perform well on standardized tests, with 57.1% proficient or better in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and 45.7% proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, outpacing state averages. In contrast, Frankfort Elementary School's academic performance is more mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 35% to 68.2% in English Language Arts and 21.1% to 59% in Math, compared to state averages.
Both schools have relatively homogeneous student populations, with over 88% of students identifying as White. This lack of racial diversity may be an area for the district to explore and address. Additionally, both schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism, with Frankfort Elementary at 32.1% and Frankfort High at 22.7%. The district should focus on improving attendance and addressing any resource allocation disparities between the two schools to ensure all students in Frankfort have access to a high-quality education.
