Summary:
Bronson Community School District is home to a single high school, Bronson JrSr High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's academic performance is generally below state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.8% to 51.4% across different subject areas and grade levels, compared to state averages of 26.7% to 64.5%. Bronson JrSr High School also has a concerning 82.1% four-year graduation rate and a high dropout rate of 17.8%, both of which are significantly worse than state averages.
The school's student population is diverse, with 77.02% White, 20.77% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Asian and students of two or more races. However, the school does not have any African American or Native American students, raising questions about equity and inclusivity. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Bronson JrSr High School also faces attendance issues, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. The school's operational metrics, such as a student-teacher ratio of 21.7 and per-student spending of $11,801, are generally in line with state averages, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school may not be solely due to resource constraints.
