Summary:
The Constantine Public School District in Michigan operates two high schools: Constantine High School and Constantine Alternative Education. While both schools share similar graduation and dropout rates, there is a significant performance gap between them.
Constantine High School, the larger of the two with 402 students, has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and generally underperforms on state assessments, with only 50% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. In contrast, Constantine Alternative Education, with just 84 students, has a 0-star rating and an even higher percentage of students (78.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests a discrepancy in resource allocation, with Constantine High School spending $14,264 per student and having a student-teacher ratio of 20.1, while Constantine Alternative Education spends only $9,008 per student and has a much higher student-teacher ratio of 60.4. These differences may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools, which both face challenges with chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic disadvantages among their student populations.
