Cheboygan Area High School stands out as the largest school in the district with 609 students and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 95.6%. The school's test scores are generally above the district and state averages, particularly in science and evidence-based reading and writing, though its math proficiency lags behind at only 20.7% of 11th graders proficient. In contrast, Inverness Academy, the district's alternative high school, faces significant challenges with a lower 60.0% graduation rate, higher 11.4% dropout rate, and considerably lower test scores across all subjects compared to the district and state.

Across the Cheboygan Area Schools district, there are high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 52.87% to 78.82%, and chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.4% to 28.2%. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic performance challenges faced by some of the schools, particularly Inverness Academy. Addressing these issues, along with the district's relatively low math proficiency, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for all students in the Cheboygan Area Schools district.
