Grand Blanc Community Schools

The Grand Blanc Community Schools district in Michigan comprises 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the wide range of free and reduced-price lunch rates across the schools.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. Myers Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Math. Another high-performing school is Lillian G. Mason Elementary School, which ranks in the top 200 elementary schools in Michigan and excels in Math and Science. At the middle school level, Grand Blanc Middle School East stands out, ranking in the top 150 middle schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating with strong performance across subject areas.

However, the district also faces some challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across all schools, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the district's high school, Grand Blanc Community High School, has a graduation rate of 82.8%, slightly below the state average, and a dropout rate of 7.6%, which is higher than the state average. The district's per-student spending also varies, with the alternative school, Perry Innovation Center, receiving the highest funding.
