District-Level NCES Analysis
Michigan Collegiate operates 2 public schools serving 875 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Macomb County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,169 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 82 of 812 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 6.5% local, 69.7% state, and 23.9% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 44/100, ranked #437 of 702 in Michigan against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 256:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 66.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 97.7% African American, 0.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% White across the district's schools.
Michigan Collegiate Middlehigh School accounts for 64.0% of all Michigan Collegiate student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Michigan Collegiate a distant remainder — means Michigan Collegiate-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Michigan Collegiate student-counselor ratio is 256:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Michigan Collegiate is typically wider than the Michigan Collegiate-aggregate figure suggests.
Michigan Collegiate chronic absenteeism rate is 66.9% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
