Summary:
The Stockbridge Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Heritage School and Emma Smith Elementary School) and 1 high school (Stockbridge JrSr High School). The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the schools.
Stockbridge JrSr High School stands out as a school that has shown steady improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings from 432nd out of 743 in 2023-2024 to 310th out of 739 in 2024-2025. The high school's students perform above the state average in English Language Arts and Science, but lag behind in Math. Meanwhile, Heritage School has had mixed results, with some grade levels outperforming the state in ELA and Math, while others fall behind.
Across the district, there are areas for improvement, such as addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5% at both the high school and elementary school levels. Additionally, the district-wide focus on enhancing Math instruction and support could help to address the disparities in Math proficiency observed at both the elementary and high school levels.
