Summary:
The Ypsilanti Community Schools district in Michigan is home to three high schools: ACTech High School, Acce, and Ypsilanti STEMM Middle College. While the schools share a common district, the data analysis reveals significant differences in their academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics.
Among the three high schools, Ypsilanti STEMM Middle College stands out as the top performer. It boasts a 91.8% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the other two schools, and a low dropout rate of just 5.4%. Additionally, Ypsilanti STEMM Middle College outperforms the district and state averages on standardized test scores, with 40% of 11th graders proficient or better in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 13.4% for the district and 51.3% for the state. The school also has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate of 30.5%, compared to 43% at ACTech High School and 59.7% at Acce.
The data also reveals that the schools have varying racial compositions, with ACTech High School being the most diverse and Acce having a higher concentration of African American students. Additionally, all three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.96% at Ypsilanti STEMM Middle College to 83.97% at Acce. These findings suggest that socioeconomic and demographic factors may be playing a significant role in the academic performance of these schools, and the Ypsilanti Community Schools district should prioritize ensuring equitable access to resources and support for all students.
