Summary:
The Au Gres-Sims School District in Michigan is home to a single high school, Au GresSims High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces several challenges, including academic performance, graduation and dropout rates, and high levels of chronic absenteeism.
Academically, Au GresSims High School has struggled, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in Math/Science and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. The school's ranking has fluctuated, from 559 out of 743 Michigan high schools in the 2023-2024 school year to 354 out of 735 in the 2022-2023 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate of 66.6% is lower than the state average, while its dropout rate of 14.8% is higher.
Socioeconomic factors may also be contributing to the school's challenges, as a high percentage of students (56.74%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.9% is significantly higher than the state average, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. The school and district may need to develop targeted strategies to address these issues and improve student success.
