Summary:
Peck Community School District is home to a single high school, Peck JrSr High School, which serves grades 6 through 12 with a small enrollment of 202 students in a rural Michigan setting.
Peck JrSr High School stands out for its perfect graduation rate of 100% and a 0% dropout rate for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding state averages of 84% and 7.1%. This achievement is particularly notable given that 65.35% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage. The school’s state ranking has improved from the 62nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 56th percentile in both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, where it currently ranks 353rd out of 800 schools. Per-student spending is $14,037, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.8.
Academically, the school shows a mixed picture. In the 2025-2026 school year, 6th graders outperformed the state in English Language Arts (53.6% vs. 37.5%) and Math (39.3% vs. 31.9%). However, this advantage fades by 7th and 8th grades, where proficiency falls below state averages—for example, 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency is 37% versus the state’s 50.3%, and Math is 17.24% versus 33.2%. Test scores also fluctuate dramatically year to year due to small class sizes, such as 6th-grade ELA jumping from 28.1% to 53.6% in one year. College readiness appears to be a gap: only 43.8% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (state: 52.1%) and 25% in SAT Math (state: 26.5%). Chronic absenteeism is slightly above the state average at 28.1% versus 27.9%, which may contribute to the proficiency declines in higher grades. While the school excels at ensuring students graduate, parents should be aware that academic preparation for college and upper-grade subjects may require additional attention.
