Summary:
Deckerville Community School District in Michigan has a single high school, Deckerville Community High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 209th out of 531 Michigan high schools in 2021-2022 to 430th out of 743 schools in 2023-2024, and a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2.
Deckerville Community High School faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science, as measured by standardized test scores. The school's graduation rate of 88.2% is slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 5.8% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (57.09%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which can impact academic outcomes.
To address these issues, the Deckerville Community School District may need to implement targeted interventions, strengthen student support systems, and explore ways to improve overall school effectiveness and student outcomes. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.2% could also be a key focus area, as it may be contributing to the school's academic performance challenges.
