Summary:

Constantine High School is a public high school serving around 400 students in grades 9-12 in Constantine, Michigan. The school is part of the Constantine Public School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Constantine High School has maintained relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 93.4% to 98.8% over the past five years, the school faces some significant challenges. It has a predominantly white student population, with 87.25% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.5% in 2018-2019 to 43.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and most nearby schools. Academically, Constantine High School's test scores are generally below the state average and the scores of nearby schools, particularly in mathematics, with only 11.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.3%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Marcellus High School, Constantine High School generally performs worse on academic metrics and has a lower statewide ranking. The school's declining ranking, from 307 out of 799 Michigan high schools in 2013-2014 to 375 out of 743 in 2023-2024, suggests that it may be struggling to keep up with academic performance compared to other schools in the state. These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 53.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
