Pittsford Area Schools

The Pittsford Area Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools: Pittsford Area High School (grades 6-12) and Pittsford Area Elementary School (grades K-5). However, the data indicates that both schools are performing significantly below state averages on academic measures, with no clear standout schools in the district.

Academically, both Pittsford Area High School and Pittsford Area Elementary School struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state averages on M-Step, SAT, and PSAT assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, only 16.67% of 7th graders at the high school were proficient or better in M-Step English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.9%. Similarly, the elementary school had only 10.34% of 4th graders proficient or better in the same subject, far below the state average of 43.3%.

The schools also face challenges related to high poverty rates, with 66.67% of high school students and 75.32% of elementary school students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This is likely contributing to the high rates of chronic absenteeism observed at both schools, which stand at 20.1% for the high school and 22.9% for the elementary school. Overall, the Pittsford Area Schools district appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these systemic issues.
