High Schools in Croswell-Lexington Community Schools

The Croswell-Lexington Community Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: CroswellLexington High School and Pioneer High School. While both serve grades 9-12, the data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance and outcomes between the two schools.

CroswellLexington High School emerges as the standout, with a larger enrollment of 579 students and stronger academic performance across various measures, including higher proficiency rates in M-Step/Science, M-Step/Social Studies, SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT/Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, CroswellLexington High School boasts a higher four-year graduation rate of 93.5% and a lower dropout rate of 1.4%, in contrast to Pioneer High School's 60.7% graduation rate and 17.8% dropout rate.

The disparities extend to resource allocation, with CroswellLexington High School spending $14,394 per student, significantly higher than the $3,246 spent per student at Pioneer High School. This raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources within the Croswell-Lexington Community Schools district and the potential impact on academic outcomes. The demographic differences between the two schools, with CroswellLexington High School having a more homogeneous white student population and Pioneer High School a more diverse student body, may also be an area for further investigation.
