Summary:
The Pontiac City School District in Michigan is home to two high schools: Pontiac High School and Pontiac Academy for Student Success. Both schools are struggling academically, with low proficiency rates, high dropout rates, and poor graduation rates compared to the state average.
Pontiac High School is ranked 670 out of 743 Michigan high schools and has a 0-star rating, while Pontiac Academy for Student Success does not have any statewide ranking or rating information available. The district's academic performance is significantly lower than the state average, with only 16.7% of Pontiac High School 11th-graders proficient or better in M-Step Science, compared to the state average of 37.5%.
The high schools in the Pontiac City School District serve a predominantly low-income student population, with over 74% of students at both schools eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge, coupled with the significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools, suggests that the district is facing equity and resource allocation issues that may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes observed.
