Summary:
The city of Auburn Hills, Michigan is home to 4 public schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and face varying challenges, from low test scores to high chronic absenteeism rates.
The standout school in the area is Avondale High School, which has the highest enrollment and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5%. However, its test scores are below the state average, with only 31.7% of students proficient or better in M-Step/Science and 19.6% proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics. In contrast, R Grant Graham Elementary School has a diverse student population but lower test scores, while Auburn Elementary School has the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students but relatively higher test scores compared to the other elementary schools.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, with the Avondale School District schools generally outperforming the Pontiac City School District's Rogers School. This suggests a potential link between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, as well as the importance of factors like student-teacher ratio and addressing chronic absenteeism in improving educational outcomes for all students in the area.
