Summary:
The Escanaba Area Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Escanaba JuniorSenior High School and Escanaba Student Success Center. While both schools serve the same community, the data reveals a stark contrast in their academic performance and overall outcomes.
Escanaba JuniorSenior High School stands out as the stronger-performing school, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings with a 4-star rating. The school's students generally outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, and it boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85.9%. In contrast, Escanaba Student Success Center struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates and a much lower graduation rate of 67.8%.
The data suggests that factors such as socioeconomic status, resource allocation, and attendance may play a significant role in shaping the educational outcomes of these schools. Escanaba Student Success Center has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, a significantly higher student-to-teacher ratio, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 78.1%. These challenges may be contributing to the school's underperformance compared to its counterpart, Escanaba JuniorSenior High School, which benefits from higher spending per student and a lower student-to-teacher ratio.
