High Schools in Cheboygan Area Schools

The Cheboygan Area Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Cheboygan Area High School and Inverness Academy. While Cheboygan Area High School stands out as the stronger-performing school, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two institutions.

Cheboygan Area High School boasts a larger student population of 609 students and a higher four-year graduation rate of 95.6%, outperforming the district and state averages in several academic assessments. In contrast, Inverness Academy struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state. The data also suggests that both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high free and reduced-price lunch rates.

The performance disparity between the two high schools is further highlighted by their respective school ratings. Cheboygan Area High School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Inverness Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools, with a 1-star rating. This difference in academic achievement and school reputation suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by the lower-performing Inverness Academy within the Cheboygan Area Schools district.
