Onaway Area Community School District

The Onaway Area Community School District consists of 3 schools: Onaway Elementary School, Onaway Senior High School, and Onaway Middle School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white across the schools.

Onaway Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in 3rd grade Math and strong performance in 5th grade Science. Onaway Middle School also excels in 8th grade Science and PSAT English Language Arts. However, the district generally underperforms compared to state averages on standardized assessments, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.

Concerning issues include high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching over 50% at Onaway Elementary School, and a relatively high dropout rate of 8.1% at Onaway Senior High School. While the district spends around $15,000 per student, the uneven academic performance suggests a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and identify areas where additional support or targeted interventions may be required.
