While the schools in the Chesaning Union Schools district generally perform well, with Big Rock Elementary School also showing strong performance, the district faces some challenges. Chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high across the schools, and a significant proportion of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, particularly at the Chesaning Union Schools Alternative Education school. Addressing these issues and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for all students could lead to even greater academic success in the district.
