Summary:

The Pellston Public Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools: Pellston MiddleHigh School and Pellston Elementary School. While the elementary school has consistently performed well, the secondary school has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Michigan high schools.

Pellston Elementary School stands out as the stronger of the two institutions, ranking in the top 30% of Michigan elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages on most M-Step and PSAT assessments, particularly in math and science. In contrast, Pellston MiddleHigh School has maintained a 2-star rating and fallen below the state averages in most subject areas on standardized tests.

Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, Pellston Elementary School spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the secondary school, which may contribute to its stronger performance. The district may benefit from further investigation into the factors driving the performance differences and strategies to improve outcomes at the high school level.
