Carrollton Public Schools

The Carrollton Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and outcomes across the district, with Carrollton Elementary School and Omni High School standing out as the lowest-performing schools.

Carrollton Elementary School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 82.99%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 7.4% to 40.4%, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.6%. In contrast, Carrollton High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 88.6%, while Omni High School has the lowest graduation rate at 42.2% and the highest dropout rate at 20.0%.

The data suggests a strong correlation between economic disadvantage and academic achievement, as schools with the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students also have the lowest test scores, graduation rates, and highest dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these disparities and the significant challenge of chronic absenteeism across the Carrollton Public Schools district should be a priority to improve student outcomes and support the diverse needs of the community.
