Summary:
Deckerville Community School District in Michigan has only one high school, Deckerville Community High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with a statewide ranking that has dropped from 413 out of 735 Michigan high schools in 2022-2023 to 501 out of 739 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Deckerville Community High School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on the M-Step and SAT exams generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 7th grade M-Step Math, the school's proficiency rate was 25% compared to the state average of 33.3%, and in 11th grade SAT Math, the school's proficiency rate was 15.2% compared to the state average of 27.5%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $19,132, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance and other metrics suggest that additional resources may not be translating into improved outcomes for students. The school district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its spending and resource allocation, as well as implement targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by Deckerville Community School District.
