Summary:
White Pigeon Community Schools is a small school district in Michigan that serves the town of White Pigeon and the surrounding area. The district has only one high school, White Pigeon JrSr High School, which serves students in grades 7-12.
White Pigeon JrSr High School has faced significant challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 507 out of 739 Michigan high schools in 2024-2025 and 629 out of 743 in 2023-2024, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% in 2023-2024 is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, White Pigeon JrSr High School's proficiency rates on state assessments, such as M-Step, SAT, and PSAT, are generally lower than the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.99% in 2023-2024, and has a student-teacher ratio of 15.4, which is slightly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,529 for the 2023-2024 school year, these factors suggest that the White Pigeon Community Schools district and its sole high school face significant challenges in supporting student success and academic achievement.
