DiAnne M Pellerin Center

Public Grades 9-12
Summary

DiAnne M Pellerin Center is a public high school in Clinton Township, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 240. The school is part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, which is ranked 288 out of 610 districts in the state.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $16,725, DiAnne M Pellerin Center consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools, with only 7.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Social Studies, compared to 36.5% for the district and 39.6% for the state. The school also struggles with low graduation rates of 60.6%, high dropout rates reaching 25.7%, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates of 90.2%. These challenges stand in stark contrast to the nearby higher-performing schools, such as High School North and Dakota High School, which are part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district and rank significantly higher in the state.

The school's student population is more racially diverse than the nearby high schools, with a higher proportion of African American and Hispanic students. However, the academic performance and outcomes for these subgroups are significantly lower than their White and Asian peers, both within the school and compared to the district and state averages. Addressing the root causes of these disparities, as well as improving student engagement, teacher quality, and school climate, will be crucial for DiAnne M Pellerin Center to provide a quality education for all its students.
