Summary:
The North Adams-Jerome Public Schools district in Michigan operates two schools: North AdamsJerome MiddleHigh School and North AdamsJerome Elementary School. Both schools are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics like academic proficiency, graduation rates, and attendance.
The middle/high school has only 17.86% of 7th graders proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 37.9%, while the elementary school has an even lower 9.68% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 39.6%. The middle/high school also has a lower four-year graduation rate of 84.8% and a high dropout rate of 9.0%. Both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism, with the middle/high school at 33.6% and the elementary school at 29.4%.
The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 73% of middle/high school students and 78.41% of elementary school students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the elementary school has a higher spending per student of $15,029 compared to the middle/high school's $13,807, the overall low performance across the district suggests that additional resources and strategies may be needed to improve student success. The lack of diversity in the student population is also a concern that may impact the educational experiences of students in the North Adams-Jerome Public Schools district.
