Summary:
The city of Elsie, Michigan is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 alternative school. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across these schools, with OvidElsie High School and EE Knight Elementary School consistently outperforming the state averages, while Michigan International Prep School, an alternative school, lags behind in many areas.
OvidElsie High School stands out with an exceptional 4-year graduation rate of 94.3% and strong performance on standardized tests, likely due to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.5. In contrast, Michigan International Prep School has a much lower graduation rate of 51.3% and higher dropout rate of 21.7%, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to support student success.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Michigan International Prep School, generally underperforming their peers. This highlights the persistent challenge of addressing educational inequities and ensuring all students have access to high-quality learning opportunities within the Michigan International Prep School and Ovid-Elsie Area Schools districts.
