Lowell Area Schools

The Lowell Area Schools district in Michigan consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and no alternative schools. The district is home to several standout schools, such as Murray Lake Elementary and Alto Elementary School, which consistently rank among the top in the state. The district's flagship high school, Lowell Senior High School, also performs exceptionally well, with a 98.5% four-year graduation rate and strong academic outcomes.

While the district as a whole excels, the data reveals some challenges, particularly at the Unity Alternative School. This school has a much lower graduation rate of 61.5% and a higher dropout rate of 15.3%, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support for students in alternative programs. Additionally, the district's schools serve populations with varying levels of economic disadvantage, as seen in the free/reduced lunch rates, which range from 44.93% at Bushnell Elementary School to 72.22% at Unity Alternative School.

Overall, the Lowell Area Schools district is performing well, with several standout schools that are among the top in the state. However, the data also highlights areas for improvement, particularly in supporting students in alternative programs and addressing potential disparities in access and outcomes across the district's schools.
