Summary

CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 183 students in grades PK-5 in Carsonville, Michigan, which is part of the Carsonville-Port Sanilac School District. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade and maintains a 2-star rating, it has performed relatively well for its high percentage of low-income students, ranking in the top 30% of Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years.

The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, while others, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, have struggled. Interestingly, Peck Community Elementary School, a nearby school with a similar student population, has generally outperformed CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School in academic measures and statewide rankings. Additionally, Meyer Elementary School and Frostick School, both part of the Croswell-Lexington Community Schools district, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings compared to CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School.

Despite these challenges, the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, which has increased from $12,209 in 2020-2021 to $17,412 in 2023-2024, may be contributing to its ability to support its low-income student population. As the school continues to work on improving its academic outcomes, it will be important for parents to stay informed and engaged with the school's progress and compare its performance to nearby schools to ensure their children are receiving the best possible education.
