Summary:
The city of New Boston, Michigan is home to 5 schools serving students from early childhood through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in the Huron School District face challenges with student attendance, academic achievement, and racial diversity, though a few standout schools demonstrate strong performance.
Brown Elementary School stands out with consistently high test scores, with over 50% of 5th graders proficient in English and Math, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Meanwhile, Carl T Renton Junior High School has strong PSAT performance and a 3-star rating, placing it in the top half of Michigan middle schools. At the high school level, Huron High School has a graduation rate above the state average, though its test scores are generally below state averages.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 24.8% to 42.7%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance seen at some schools like William D Miller Elementary and Huron High School. Additionally, the district's student population lacks racial diversity, with the majority of students being white. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the district faces challenges in improving outcomes for its students.
