Imlay City Community Schools

The Imlay City Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, Imlay City Middle School ranks 259 out of 897 Michigan middle schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, with relatively strong test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools. Borland Elementary School also performs well, ranking 734 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools and boasting above-average test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate.

In contrast, Venture High School stands out as the lowest-performing school in the district, with the lowest statewide ranking, lowest graduation rate, highest dropout rate, highest chronic absenteeism, and highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. This suggests that Venture High School may be serving a more disadvantaged student population and struggling to provide the necessary support and resources. The significant gap in performance between the two high schools in the district is a concern that the Imlay City Community Schools district will need to address.
