Summary:
The Peck Community School District in Michigan is home to a single high school, Peck JrSr High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school has a relatively small student population of 206, its academic performance and statewide ranking have been a concern in recent years.
Peck JrSr High School's statewide ranking has declined from 280 out of 743 Michigan high schools in 2023-2024 to 322 out of 739 schools in 2024-2025, earning it a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be a barrier to student learning and academic achievement.
Academically, Peck JrSr High School's test scores on the M-Step and SAT/PSAT assessments are generally below the state averages, with only a few exceptions. The school's high percentage of students (66.02%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that it may be serving a relatively low-income student population, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources. While the school's spending per student of $13,783 is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.2 is slightly lower, these factors alone do not appear to be enough to overcome the school's academic and attendance-related challenges.
