The Alternative Educational Academy of Iosco County is the sole high school serving grades 6-12 in this rural Michigan district. With a total enrollment of 205 students, the school appears to be struggling to provide a quality education, as evidenced by its extremely low graduation rate, high dropout rate, and test scores well below the state average.

The school's 31.6% four-year graduation rate and 30.3% dropout rate are alarmingly high, suggesting many students are not completing their high school education. Additionally, the school's 75.6% chronic absenteeism rate is much higher than the state average, indicating significant challenges in student engagement and attendance. Proficiency rates on state assessments, such as the M-Step and SAT, are also well below Michigan's averages across all subjects and years, further highlighting the academic underperformance of the Alternative Educational Academy of Iosco County.

The school's low ranking of 627 out of 743 Michigan high schools and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger reflect its overall underperformance compared to other schools in the state. With a high percentage of students (87.32%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces. However, the data suggests the Alternative Educational Academy of Iosco County district is not effectively supporting its students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, and significant improvements are needed to provide a high-quality education.
