Northview Public Schools

The Northview Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with test scores generally outperforming state averages, but there is a noticeable performance gap between the traditional and alternative/virtual schools.

West Oakview Elementary School and North Oakview Elementary School stand out as the top-performing elementary schools, with high proficiency rates and low chronic absenteeism. At the middle school level, Crossroads Middle School is the strongest performer, with high test scores and a 4-star rating. The largest and highest-performing high school is Northview High School, which boasts an excellent 97.4% 4-year graduation rate.

However, the district's alternative schools, Northview Next Learning Center and Northview Next Career Center, have significantly lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism compared to the traditional schools. This suggests potential equity issues that may need to be addressed, as the schools with the highest percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients also tend to have lower academic performance.
