DiAnne M Pellerin Center

Summary:

DiAnne M Pellerin Center is a public high school in Clinton Township, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 240. The school is part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, which is ranked 288 out of 610 districts in the state.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $16,725, DiAnne M Pellerin Center consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools, with only 7.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Social Studies, compared to 36.5% for the district and 39.6% for the state. The school also struggles with low graduation rates of 60.6%, high dropout rates reaching 25.7%, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates of 90.2%. These challenges stand in stark contrast to the nearby higher-performing schools, such as High School North and Dakota High School, which are part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district and rank significantly higher in the state.

The school's student population is more racially diverse than the nearby high schools, with a higher proportion of African American and Hispanic students. However, the academic performance and outcomes for these subgroups are significantly lower than their White and Asian peers, both within the school and compared to the district and state averages. Addressing the root causes of these disparities, as well as improving student engagement, teacher quality, and school climate, will be crucial for DiAnne M Pellerin Center to provide a quality education for all its students.

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.
