Summary:
The city of New Lothrop, Michigan is home to two public schools: New Lothrop Elementary School and New Lothrop High School, which are part of the New Lothrop Area Public Schools district. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state averages on assessments. However, the schools also have a predominantly white student population, raising questions about diversity and inclusion within the district.
New Lothrop Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance on state assessments, with students exceeding the state average in most subject areas and grade levels. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6%, which is below the state average. In contrast, New Lothrop High School impresses with its 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and its strong performance on SAT and PSAT assessments, with students scoring above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
While the schools demonstrate academic excellence, the data also reveals some areas for further exploration. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with New Lothrop Elementary School having 92.86% white students and New Lothrop High School having 90.52% white students. This lack of diversity raises questions about the inclusiveness and representation within the school community. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the New Lothrop Area Public Schools district, which could be an area for further investigation.
