Summary:

The Dexter Community School District in Michigan operates 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade.

The standout schools in the district are Dexter High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 20 high schools in Michigan and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, and Mill Creek Middle School, which has also been a top performer, ranking among the top 50 middle schools in the state. Academically, the district's schools outperform the state average in all tested subjects, with particularly strong results in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing at the high school level.

While the district as a whole demonstrates a strong commitment to academic excellence, there are some areas for improvement, such as addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across all schools. Additionally, the district should ensure that the students at the Dexter Alternative School, which serves a more economically disadvantaged population, have access to the same high-quality educational opportunities as their peers in the other schools.
