Summary:
The city of Leroy, Michigan is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Pine River Area High School, Pine River Area Elementary School, and Pine River Area Middle School. While the schools have some standout elements, such as a high graduation rate at the high school and strong performance in certain grade-level assessments, the overall Pine River Area Schools district is performing below average compared to other districts in Michigan.
The high school stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.6%, which is significantly above the state average. The elementary school also has a higher percentage of 3rd grade students proficient in math compared to the state. Additionally, the middle school has a higher percentage of 5th grade students proficient in science than the state average. However, the district as a whole is ranked 316 out of 610 districts in Michigan and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating underperformance.
Despite the high spending per student across the district, the academic outcomes are generally below state averages. Chronic absenteeism rates are also a significant concern, ranging from 20.6% at the high school to 27.3% at the elementary school. These attendance issues likely contribute to the lower academic achievement. Overall, the Pine River Area school district appears to be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and addressing areas like academic performance, attendance, and resource allocation should be priorities for the district.
