High Schools in Fenton Area Public Schools

The Fenton Area Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Fenton Senior High School and Fapsgear Up Academy. While both schools serve high school students, Fenton Senior High School stands out as the stronger performer, with higher enrollment, better academic achievement, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout rates compared to Fapsgear Up Academy.

Fenton Senior High School has an enrollment of 1,102 students and a diverse student population, with 87.3% White, 5.99% Hispanic, and 4.9% two or more races. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in M-Step and SAT test scores, with 61.4% proficiency in M-Step Science, 57.9% in M-Step Social Studies, 62.2% in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and 39.1% in SAT Mathematics. Additionally, Fenton Senior High School boasts a strong four-year graduation rate of 93.1% and a low dropout rate of 3.0%.

In contrast, Fapsgear Up Academy, a public magnet virtual high school, faces significant challenges. With an enrollment of only 74 students and a higher percentage of African American students at 14.86%, the school's academic performance, graduation rates, and dropout rates lag behind Fenton Senior High School. Fapsgear Up Academy has a much lower four-year graduation rate of 40.0% and a higher dropout rate of 20.0%. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 40.4 and lower spending per student of $9,744 may contribute to these disparities, suggesting the need for further investigation into the underlying factors and potential equity concerns within the Fenton Area Public Schools district.
