High Schools in Ovid-Elsie Area Schools

The Ovid-Elsie Area Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: OvidElsie High School and OvidElsie Community EdAlt High School. OvidElsie High School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the alternative high school has historically ranked in the bottom half of the state's schools.

Academically, OvidElsie High School outperforms the district and state averages in several key areas, including SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and SAT/Mathematics. However, the school lags behind in M-Step/Science proficiency. OvidElsie High School also boasts a strong 94.3% four-year graduation rate, while the alternative high school has a lower 66.6% graduation rate. The dropout rate at OvidElsie High School is 1.8%, compared to a higher 8.3% at the alternative high school.

Despite the district's predominantly white student population, the alternative high school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with 69.05% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 32.51% at OvidElsie High School. This disparity is also reflected in the significant difference in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the two schools, suggesting a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the Ovid-Elsie Area Schools district.
