Summary:
The Carson City-Crystal Area Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual academy). The data reveals some standout performance as well as areas for improvement across the district.
Carson City Elementary School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Math, significantly exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, the Carson City-Crystal Upper Elementary Middle School and Carson City-Crystal High School have relatively low proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, which is a concern. The Carson City-Crystal Virtual Academy, despite serving a high-need student population, has a high graduation rate and low dropout rate, suggesting it is effectively supporting its students.
Across the district, schools face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the data also highlights potential opportunities, such as examining the practices of the successful elementary school and the virtual academy to identify strategies that could be applied to improve outcomes at the middle and high school levels.
