Fulton Schools

The Fulton Schools district in Michigan consists of three schools: Fulton Elementary School, Fulton High School, and Fulton Middle School. While the district serves a predominantly white student population, it faces challenges in academic performance, attendance, and diversity that require attention.

Fulton Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of white students, which could indicate a lack of diversity. In contrast, Fulton High School has a lower 4-year graduation rate compared to the state average, and Fulton Middle School struggles with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, particularly in 7th grade.

Across the district, the schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14% at the elementary school to 19.7% at the middle school, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools generally underperform the state averages on standardized assessments, particularly in math and science, suggesting a need to focus on improving academic outcomes. The district's relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary and middle schools, indicate that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may require additional support and resources to ensure equitable educational opportunities.
