Summary:
The city of Onaway, Michigan is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a public magnet charter school), and 0 alternative schools. These schools serve students across various grade levels and provide educational opportunities in the Onaway community.
Among the standout schools, Onaway Elementary School has the largest student population with 257 students and a relatively high percentage of white students (91.83%) compared to the state average. However, the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. Additionally, Onaway Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 51.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. In contrast, Onaway Senior High School has a relatively small student population of 160 students and generally performs below the district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in math. The school also has a relatively high graduation rate of 83.7% but a high dropout rate of 8.1%.
The Presque Isle Academy, a public magnet charter high school, stands out with only 25 students and a very low four-year graduation rate of 22.2% and a high dropout rate of 44.4%. This raises concerns about the school's ability to support student success and completion. Overall, the Onaway schools face a mix of challenges, from racial homogeneity and inconsistent academic performance to high chronic absenteeism and concerning graduation and dropout rates, which may require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Onaway community.
