Fruitport Community Schools

The Fruitport Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools (with 1 alternative high school), and no alternative schools. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the academic performance varies widely, a few standout schools emerge from the data.

Beach Elementary School and Shettler School consistently perform above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with particularly strong results in core subjects. These two elementary schools have been ranked among the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools for the past 3 years. In contrast, Edgewood Elementary School and the alternative high schools lag behind in academic performance.

At the secondary level, Fruitport High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% and low dropout rate of 3.5%, both of which are better than the Fruitport Community Schools district and state averages. However, the middle and high schools have seen their statewide rankings decline over the past 3 years, suggesting a need to focus on improving outcomes at the secondary level. The Fruitport Alternative High School, in particular, faces significant challenges, with a 0% 4-year graduation rate and a 100% dropout rate.
