High Schools in Mt. Pleasant City School District

Summary:

The Mt. Pleasant City School District is home to two high schools: Mt Pleasant Senior High School and WAY Oasis. While Mt Pleasant Senior High School consistently outperforms the state and district averages on academic measures, WAY Oasis struggles with significantly lower performance and graduation rates.

Mt Pleasant Senior High School is the standout school in the district, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic performance. The school outperforms the state and district on M-Step and SAT tests, with over 50% proficiency in Science, Social Studies, and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. In contrast, WAY Oasis lags behind, with only 18.75% proficiency in 11th-grade Science and 20% proficiency in 8th-grade English Language Arts. Additionally, WAY Oasis has a concerning 15.0% four-year graduation rate and a 50.9% dropout rate, compared to Mt Pleasant Senior High School's 79.1% graduation rate.

The data also reveals potential equity concerns, as WAY Oasis has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (72.87%) compared to Mt Pleasant Senior High School (42.25%). This, along with the stark differences in academic performance and graduation rates, suggests that further investigation may be warranted to understand the underlying factors contributing to these disparities within the district.
