High Schools in Vestaburg Community Schools

The Vestaburg Community Schools district in Michigan is home to three high schools, including one traditional high school and two alternative education schools. While the district as a whole is ranked 469 out of 610 districts in the state and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the performance of the individual high schools varies significantly.

The standout school in the district is Vestaburg Community High School, which boasts the highest 4-year graduation rate at 78.3% and the lowest dropout rate at 5.4%. This school also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 29.2%, compared to the very high rates at the alternative schools. Academically, Vestaburg Community High School outperforms the other schools in most areas, such as SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and M-Step/Science for 8th grade.

In contrast, the two Vestaburg Community Alternative Education School locations struggle with much lower academic performance, higher dropout rates, and higher chronic absenteeism. These schools serve a more diverse student population, including higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students, and receive higher spending per student, suggesting the district is allocating more resources to address the challenges they face. However, the outcomes at these alternative schools have not yet reflected significant improvements.
