Bangor Township Schools

The Bangor Township Schools district in Michigan consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged community.

Within the district, John Glenn High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate and lower dropout rate, but its test scores are mixed, and it has a higher chronic absenteeism rate. Bangor Central School is another standout, with some of the highest test scores in the district, though it also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate. The Bangor Township Virtual School has a concerning low graduation rate and high dropout rate, highlighting the challenges faced by students in a virtual learning environment.

The data reveals significant variation in school performance within the district, with some schools, like Bangor Central and Bangor Lincoln, performing relatively well, while others, like Christa McAuliffe Middle School, struggle with lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. These disparities suggest potential equity concerns and the need for the district to address attendance issues and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student outcomes.
