Summary:
The city of Peck, Michigan is home to two schools: Peck JrSr High School and Peck Community Elementary School, both part of the Peck Community School District. While the high school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the elementary school has shown improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings over the past three years.
Peck JrSr High School stands out for its relatively high four-year graduation rate of 82.8% and ranking in the top half of Michigan high schools. However, the school struggles with low proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts, particularly in the middle grades. In contrast, Peck Community Elementary School has seen stronger performance in 5th-grade English Language Arts, with 69.2% of students proficient or better, and 3rd-grade Math.
Both schools face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, with nearly 30% of students chronically absent, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. Addressing these issues, such as the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing additional support for students from low-income families, will be crucial for the district to improve educational outcomes for students in Peck.
