Forest Area Community Schools


Summary:

The Forest Area Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals some standout schools and areas for improvement within the district.

Fife Lake Elementary School stands out for its relatively high percentage of Native American students (13.1%) and strong academic performance, with 3rd-grade test scores exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, Forest Area High School has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 70.2% compared to the other schools, and its 11th-grade science and social studies scores are above the district and state averages.

However, the district faces some challenges, including lower overall test scores compared to state averages, high chronic absenteeism rates (up to 47.3% at the high school), and a dropout rate of 13.5% at the high school. The district may need to address these issues and ensure more consistent and equitable education across all grade levels, while also considering the unique needs of its diverse student population and optimizing resource allocation to improve student outcomes.
