Pennfield Schools


Summary:

The Pennfield Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces several challenges, with most schools performing below state averages academically and serving predominantly White student populations with high levels of economic disadvantage.

Among the standout schools, North Pennfield Elementary has the highest historical statewide ranking and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, while Pennfield Purdy School has the highest per-student spending and the lowest student-teacher ratio. However, academic performance across the district is generally below state averages, with most schools scoring below 40% proficiency in core subjects.

Socioeconomic challenges are prevalent, with a significant portion of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with rates ranging from 21.4% at Pennfield Purdy School to 37.2% at Pennfield Middle School. These factors may be contributing to the district's overall underperformance compared to state standards, and addressing these issues may require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.
