Lake Orion Community Schools

The Lake Orion Community Schools district in Michigan encompasses 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a diverse range of academic performance within the district, with some schools consistently outperforming the state and district averages, while others face challenges with lower proficiency rates and higher socioeconomic needs.

The standout schools in the district are Scripps Middle School and Waldon Middle School, both ranked in the top 100 middle schools in Michigan, and Webber School, an elementary school ranked 93rd out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools. These high-performing schools demonstrate exceptional academic results, with proficiency rates significantly exceeding the district and state averages.

In contrast, the Learning Options High School, an alternative school, struggles with much lower proficiency rates, higher chronic absenteeism, and a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This disparity in performance suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and educational outcomes within the district, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
