Breckenridge Community Schools

The Breckenridge Community Schools district in Michigan operates two schools: Breckenridge High School and Breckenridge Elementary School. While the elementary school generally performs better academically, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and serve a population with a majority of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Breckenridge High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 93.3%, but its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 28.7%, significantly higher than the state average. In contrast, Breckenridge Elementary School performs better academically, with several grade-level test scores exceeding the state averages in English Language Arts and Math, though it still has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 13.0%.

Both schools serve a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with Breckenridge High School at 50% and Breckenridge Elementary School at 56.86%. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic and attendance challenges observed in the district. Addressing these issues, along with the chronic absenteeism, could be key priorities for the Breckenridge Community Schools district to improve educational outcomes for all students.
