Summerfield Schools

The Summerfield Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools: Summerfield Elementary School and Summerfield Junior-Senior High School. The district is ranked 182 out of 613 in Michigan and has a 4-star rating, indicating strong academic performance across the system.

Summerfield Elementary School consistently outperforms state averages on M-STEP English Language Arts and Math assessments, with particularly strong 5th-grade science and social studies proficiency. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is an area of concern. At the Summerfield Junior-Senior High School, students demonstrate impressive 11th-grade SAT performance, with 68.2% proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing compared to the state average of 55.4%. The high school also maintains a respectable 82.8% 4-year graduation rate, though the 7.6% dropout rate is an issue that needs to be addressed.

Both schools in the Summerfield Schools district face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, with 29.5% of students chronically absent at both the elementary and high school levels. This is a significant concern that likely impacts overall student achievement. Additionally, the district's socioeconomic factors, such as the higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school, suggest a need for targeted support and resources to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
