Summary:
The Carsonville-Port Sanilac School District operates 3 schools, including 1 elementary school and 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual learning center). The district serves the Carsonville-Port Sanilac area and faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students across its schools.
The standout school in the district is CarsonvillePort Sanilac High School, which is ranked 79 out of 739 Michigan high schools and has a 4-star rating. The high school outperforms the district and state averages on several standardized test metrics, including SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and M-Step/Science. In contrast, the district's CarsonvillePort Sanilac Learning Center, the virtual high school, lags behind in performance, potentially due to factors such as higher student-teacher ratios and lower spending per student.
The CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School performs reasonably well, with 5th-grade students outperforming the district and state averages in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Science. However, the district may need to focus on improving academic outcomes at the secondary level, as the elementary school generally performs better than the high schools on standardized tests.
