Summary:
The Ithaca Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (North Elementary and South Elementary) and 1 high school (Ithaca High School). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students across the schools.
Ithaca High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 108 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 93.5% four-year graduation rate and strong academic performance, exceeding state averages in several subjects. In contrast, the elementary schools face challenges, particularly in math proficiency, with North Elementary being the stronger performer of the two.
Across the district, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism suggest socioeconomic disparities that may be impacting academic outcomes. While the district is performing reasonably well overall, there are opportunities for improvement, especially in addressing the needs of the elementary schools and tackling the issue of chronic absenteeism.
