High Schools in Godwin Heights Public Schools

The Godwin Heights Public Schools district in Michigan operates two high schools: Godwin Heights Senior High School and Godwin Heights Learning Center. While Godwin Heights Senior High School is the larger of the two with 689 students, both schools serve a diverse student population with high percentages of Hispanic and African American students, as well as a large majority of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, the high schools in the Godwin Heights district are struggling, with proficiency rates on state assessments ranging from just 5.9% to 26.5% across different subject areas. This is significantly below the state averages. The four-year graduation rate at Godwin Heights Senior High School is relatively high at 92.5%, but the Godwin Heights Learning Center has an alarmingly low graduation rate of only 29.5%. Dropout rates also vary, with Godwin Heights Learning Center having a much higher rate of 13.6% compared to 2.5% at the larger high school.

The resource allocation within the district also appears uneven, with Godwin Heights Senior High School spending $16,871 per student, while the Godwin Heights Learning Center spends only $13,072 per student. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio at the Learning Center is more than double that of the Senior High School, which may contribute to the lower academic performance and higher dropout rates observed at the smaller school. Overall, the data suggests that the Godwin Heights Public Schools district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality and equitable education to all of its students.
