Bath Community Schools

The Bath Community Schools district in Michigan operates three schools: Bath Elementary School, Bath High School, and Bath Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is known for its strong academic performance, particularly at the elementary level.

Bath Elementary School stands out as a high performer, with students exceeding state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the high school, and relatively high per-student spending. In contrast, Bath High School has a strong graduation rate and performs well on SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, but struggles with SAT Math proficiency. The Bath Middle School faces more challenges, with proficiency rates below the state average in several subjects.

Across the district, attendance is a concern, with chronic absenteeism rates much higher than the state's target. This issue may be contributing to the academic performance challenges, especially at the middle and high school levels. The district's relatively high per-student spending suggests a commitment to investing in its schools, but the varying student-teacher ratios indicate potential differences in resource allocation. Additionally, the predominantly white student population with a significant Hispanic minority may warrant further analysis to understand any potential achievement gaps or unique needs.
