Summary:
The Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district in Michigan is home to four high schools that demonstrate a range of academic performance and student outcomes. The top-performing schools, Plymouth High School, Canton High School, and Salem High School, all rank among the top 65 high schools in Michigan and boast exceptional 4-year graduation rates exceeding 94%. In contrast, Starkweather Academy Fiegel lags behind, with significantly lower academic performance and a graduation rate of just 43.2%.
The top-performing schools in the district consistently demonstrate strong academic results, with 11th-grade proficiency rates well above the district and state averages in subjects like M-Step Science, M-Step Social Studies, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT Mathematics. This suggests a focus on academic rigor and effective teaching practices. However, the stark contrast in performance between the top schools and Starkweather Academy Fiegel raises concerns about equity and the challenges faced by the latter school community.
Despite the disparities, the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district as a whole is ranked 100th out of 610 districts in Michigan and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This indicates the district is providing a high-quality education, with a diverse student population and relatively consistent resource allocation across the schools. Addressing the specific needs of Starkweather Academy Fiegel could help ensure all students in the district have access to the same opportunities for academic success.
