Gibraltar School District

The Gibraltar School District in Michigan consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with varying levels of economic disadvantage and academic performance across the schools.

Among the standout schools, Chapman Elementary School ranks the highest in the district, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Shumate Middle School also performs well, outpacing the district and state averages on PSAT assessments. At the high school level, Oscar A Carlson High School maintains a high graduation rate and relatively low dropout rate, though its academic performance lags behind the state average on the SAT.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance and equity across the district. Schools like Hunter Elementary and Lakeshore Virtual School struggle across multiple subject areas and grade levels, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges facing the district and ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
