Pontiac City School District


Summary:

The Pontiac City School District in Michigan operates 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.

Within the district, a few schools stand out - Rogers School and Alcott School are the top-performing elementary schools, with significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district average. In contrast, the Kennedy Center alternative school has very low graduation rates and high dropout rates, indicating it serves a high-need student population.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, large achievement gaps compared to state averages, and declining school performance over time. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Pontiac City School District.
