Summary:
Hastings High School is the sole high school serving the Hastings Area School District in Michigan. With an enrollment of 801 students, the school has a predominantly White student body and faces academic challenges, with performance on state assessments generally below the state average, except in Social Studies. While the school's 4-year graduation rate of 85.5% is slightly below the state average, its dropout rate of 10% is higher, indicating a need for improved student retention strategies.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as nearly half (47.94%) of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant economic challenges faced by the community. This may have implications for the school's resources and the support services it can provide. When compared to the district and state, Hastings High School's metrics are generally in line with or slightly below the averages, indicating that the school's challenges may be reflective of broader trends in the region.
Overall, Hastings High School faces a range of academic and socioeconomic challenges, with a need to focus on improving student outcomes in core subject areas, reducing dropout rates, and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. The school's performance suggests that the Hastings Area School District may need to implement targeted strategies and allocate resources to support the success of its sole high school.
