Summary:
The Athens Area Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools - Athens JuniorSenor High School and East Leroy Elementary School. While the elementary school shows some academic strengths, the high school's performance lags behind, suggesting opportunities for improvement at the secondary level. Both schools have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of focus for the district.
Athens JuniorSenor High School has a relatively low academic performance, ranking in the bottom half of Michigan high schools, but it boasts an impressive 97.1% 4-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. The school also has a diverse student population, with 14.18% of students being non-white. In contrast, East Leroy Elementary School performs better academically, ranking in the middle third of Michigan elementary schools, and has a higher percentage of students proficient in English Language Arts.
The data suggests that while the Athens Area Schools district allocates resources fairly across grade levels, with similar per-student spending at both the high school and elementary school, addressing attendance issues and improving academic performance at the secondary level could be important areas of focus for the district moving forward.
