Summary

May V Peck Elementary School in Center Line, MI, serves 493 students in grades K-5 and is part of the Center Line Public Schools district, where nearly 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academic performance at May V Peck is a concern, particularly as students advance. While 4th-grade scores show some relative strength—with 33.3% proficiency in ELA, actually exceeding the district average—the school sees a sharp drop by 5th grade, where only 13% of students are proficient in ELA and 8.7% in Math. These figures are dramatically lower than district averages and far below nearby schools like Mark C Roose Elementary School, also in Center Line, which posts 5th-grade proficiency rates of 41% in ELA and 28.2% in Math despite serving a similar student population. Even more striking, Frontier International Academy Elementary, a nearby charter school where nearly all students qualify for free lunch, ranks in the 73rd percentile statewide and achieves proficiency rates 2-4 times higher than May V Peck in nearly every subject and grade level. This suggests that poverty alone doesn't explain the performance gap.

Chronic absenteeism is another significant challenge, with 35.6% of students missing school regularly—well above the state average of 27.9% and higher than nearby schools like Cromie Elementary School (21.2%). The school's overall ranking has remained in the bottom 20th percentile of Michigan elementary schools for several years, earning a 1-star rating. However, the success of other schools in the area with similar or higher poverty levels, including Mark C Roose Elementary School and Frontier International Academy Elementary, demonstrates that significant improvement is achievable with targeted interventions focused on attendance and consistent instruction across all grade levels.

Open Quote Peck Elementary is such a great leadership school! My child started Peck as a struggling kindergartener and the teachers have such great leadership skills and are highly educated in developing children that struggle with learning.
