Summary:
The Sault Ste. Marie Area Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Sault Area High School and Malcolm High School. While both schools serve students in grades 9-12, the data reveals significant differences in their academic performance and student outcomes.
Sault Area High School appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, better graduation rates, lower dropout and absenteeism rates, and stronger academic achievement across various standardized tests. In contrast, Malcolm High School struggles with significantly lower graduation rates, higher dropout and absenteeism, and weaker academic performance compared to both the district and state averages.
The demographic differences between the two schools are also noteworthy. Sault Area High School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of Native American students, compared to Malcolm High School. This suggests the need for culturally responsive teaching practices and support systems tailored to the specific needs of the student population at Malcolm High School. Overall, the data highlights the significant disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes within the Sault Ste. Marie Area Schools district, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
