Lapeer Community Schools

The Lapeer Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district's performance generally aligns with state averages, but there is significant variation in academic achievement across the individual schools.

Among the standout schools, CK Schickler Elementary School ranks the highest in the district, with impressive test scores in English Language Arts and science that exceed both district and state averages. Emma Murphy Elementary School and Turrill Elementary School also perform well, with strong English Language Arts and math proficiency, respectively, as well as relatively low chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, the district's alternative school, Center for Innovation, struggles with significantly lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and lower test scores compared to the other schools.

The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of students from low-income families, such as CK Schickler Elementary and Center for Innovation, tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The Lapeer Community Schools district may benefit from targeted interventions to address chronic absenteeism and improve math proficiency across the elementary schools.
