Grand Rapids Public Schools


Summary:

The Grand Rapids Public Schools district in Michigan comprises 49 schools, including 25 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, 14 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds.

Several schools stand out in the district, with City MiddleHigh and Grand Rapids Montessori MiddleHigh ranking among the top high schools in the state, boasting exceptional graduation rates and academic performance. Additionally, the small middle schools of Blandford School and John Ball Park Zoo School have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement, with their 6th-grade students scoring well above district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and socioeconomic status across the district. While some schools, such as Grand Rapids Public Museum High, achieve high graduation rates and strong academic outcomes, others struggle with low performance, high dropout rates, and high percentages of students from low-income families. Addressing these inequities and providing targeted support to the district's most vulnerable schools will be crucial for improving educational opportunities and outcomes for all students in the Grand Rapids Public Schools system.
