Tawas Area Schools


Summary:

The Tawas Area Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: Clara B Bolen Elementary School, Tawas Area Middle School, and Tawas Area High School. The district stands out for its strong performance at the high school level, with Tawas Area High School ranking 128 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The high school boasts an impressive 92.5% 4-year graduation rate and strong academic outcomes, particularly in science and social studies.

In contrast, the middle school performance is more mixed, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding state averages while others fall behind. The elementary school maintains relatively strong performance in 4th grade ELA and Math, but the high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.3% is a concern. Across the district, the student population is predominantly white, with limited racial diversity. Socioeconomic challenges are also evident, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility ranging from 41.62% at the high school to 63.59% at the elementary school.

Overall, the Tawas Area Schools district has some strengths, particularly at the high school level, but also faces challenges in areas such as attendance, middle school performance, and addressing equity concerns. Continued focus on data-driven decision-making, targeted interventions, and fostering a more inclusive and representative learning environment could help the district build on its successes and improve outcomes for all students.
