Schoolcraft Community Schools

The Schoolcraft Community Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools - Schoolcraft High School and Schoolcraft Elementary School. Schoolcraft High School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Michigan and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students demonstrate strong academic achievement, outperforming state averages in various subject areas, particularly in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT and Social Studies on the M-Step. Schoolcraft High School also boasts an impressive 91% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, significantly better than state averages.

While Schoolcraft High School is a standout performer, the district's demographic composition raises some equity concerns. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with Schoolcraft High School being 91.58% white and Schoolcraft Elementary School being 94.33% white. The schools have relatively low percentages of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, which may warrant further investigation into factors contributing to this profile and the district's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion.

Another area of interest is the higher chronic absenteeism rate at Schoolcraft High School (23%) compared to Schoolcraft Elementary School (14.4%). This difference suggests a need to address attendance-related issues, such as student engagement or support for families, at the high school level. Overall, the Schoolcraft Community Schools district demonstrates a strong focus on academic excellence, as evidenced by the consistent high performance across grade levels, but also presents opportunities to explore equity and attendance-related challenges.
