Summary:
The Center Line Public Schools district in Michigan operates 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
While the overall academic performance of the district is significantly below the state averages, a few schools stand out. Mark C Roose Elementary School has the highest performance on state assessments among the elementary schools, with 49.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 41.8% proficient or better in Math. At the middle school level, Wolfe Middle School stands out with 49.1% of 8th graders proficient or better on the PSAT English Language Arts exam, higher than the district and state. The alternative school, Academy 21, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a lower dropout rate of 7.6%.
Across the district, the schools face significant challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments, high chronic absenteeism rates around 29.5%, and very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these systemic issues should be a key priority for the Center Line Public Schools district.
