Ashley Community Schools

The Ashley Community Schools district in Michigan consists of three schools: Ashley Middle School, Ashley Elementary School, and Ashley High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with enrollment ranging from 73 to 86 students per school.

Ashley Middle School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 251 out of 897 Michigan middle schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school outperforms the state average in several academic areas, including 5th grade ELA, 8th grade PSAT ELA, and 8th grade science. In contrast, Ashley Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates below the state average in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and math.

While Ashley High School performs well on the SAT, with 68.8% of 11th graders proficient in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, the school faces a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism at 67.5%. This alarmingly high rate likely contributes to the school's relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 67.8%. Additionally, the district's funding allocation appears uneven, with Ashley Elementary School spending significantly more per student than the other two schools.
