Summary:
The Chesaning Union Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Chesaning Union High School and Chesaning Union Schools Alternative Education. While Chesaning Union Schools district has consistently high-performing schools, the data reveals a significant gap in the performance and outcomes between the two high schools.
Chesaning Union High School stands out as the district's top-performing school, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and academic proficiency rates well above the state average. In contrast, the Chesaning Union Schools Alternative Education program appears to be struggling, with a very low graduation rate, high dropout rate, and extremely high chronic absenteeism. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of the alternative education program in supporting and retaining its students.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the district, with both schools having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the lower performance and higher absenteeism rates observed at the alternative education school. Additionally, the district may need to re-evaluate its funding allocation to ensure equitable resources for all students, especially those in the alternative education program.
