Summary:
The Grand Haven, Michigan school district consists of 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district.
The top-performing elementary schools, Rosy Mound School and Peach Plains School, consistently rank among the best in the state, with exceptional test scores that far exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, the alternative Central High School struggles with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and poor test results. The middle school, Lakeshore Middle School, also performs well, ranking in the top 10-15% of Michigan middle schools.
Across the district, there are significant disparities in student outcomes, with some schools facing challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates, racial diversity, and spending levels that do not always correlate with performance. The data suggests that the Grand Haven Area Public Schools district has both high-achieving and struggling schools, and addressing these differences could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for all students in the area.
