Deckerville Community School District

The Deckerville Community School District consists of two schools - Deckerville Elementary School and Deckerville Community High School. While the elementary school generally outperforms the state averages in English Language Arts and Math, the high school faces some challenges in academic achievement and attendance.

Deckerville Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, particularly in 4th and 6th grades, as well as strong performance in 5th grade Science. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% compared to the high school's 21.2%. In contrast, Deckerville Community High School struggles to match the state's performance, particularly in 7th grade English Language Arts and Math, as well as 11th grade Science and Social Studies. However, the high school's 8th grade PSAT performance in English Language Arts and Math exceeds the state averages.

The data also reveals a significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary school ($9,978) and the high school ($20,219), suggesting a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the district. This disparity may contribute to the observed performance gaps between the two schools and should be examined to ensure equitable distribution of resources. Overall, the Deckerville Community School District has both strengths and areas for improvement, and addressing the challenges faced by the high school could help improve student outcomes across all grade levels.
