Constantine Public School District ranked the 31st lowest in college readiness statewide, based on its students’ performance on the 2023-24 SAT, according to the MI School Data.

Scores show that 9.4% of the 117 students assessed in the district were set for college at the time.

In the previous school year, 11% of 100 students tested hit the benchmarks.

Constantine Public School District reported that 9.4% of their students were proficient in the math section of the SAT, while 41% fared well in the evidence-based reading and writing portion.

Academic performance in Michigan remains below pre-pandemic levels. According to the 2024 NAEP results, the share of students reaching the basic benchmark in core subjects is about 10 percentage points lower than in 2019—except for fourth-grade math, which saw a decline of just 2 points.

Achievement gaps between ethnic groups also persist. On average, Hispanic students scored 15 points below white students. The gap was even wider for Black students, who scored about 30 points lower than their white peers.
