Anchor Bay School District

The Anchor Bay School District in Michigan consists of 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.

The district's top-performing schools are Great Oaks Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the best in the state, and Anchor Bay Middle School North, which also earns high marks and prepares students well for high school. In contrast, the district's alternative high school, Compass Pointe, struggles with low performance, a 30% graduation rate, and a 50% dropout rate, indicating a need for additional support and resources.

While the district's overall test scores and graduation rates are generally above the state averages, there are significant disparities in student outcomes, with some schools, such as Francois Maconce Elementary and Anchor Bay Middle School South, struggling with lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. Addressing these inequities and ensuring all students have access to a quality education should be a top priority for the Anchor Bay School District.
