Summary:

Armada High School is a public high school located in Armada, Michigan, serving 585 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Armada Area Schools district, which is ranked 68 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Armada High School stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with exceptional graduation rates ranging from 99.2% to 99.3% over the past four years, significantly above the state average. The school also boasts very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.6% over the past five years, much lower than the state average. Armada High School students consistently outperform the state and district averages in M-Step and SAT assessments, particularly in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, Social Studies, and Mathematics. The school's per-student spending of $15,681 in 2022-2023 is relatively high compared to the state average.

While Armada High School's academic performance is impressive, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white (94.19% in 2022-2023), which is not representative of the racial diversity seen in many other Michigan high schools, such as Anchor Bay High School and New Haven High School. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.7% in 2018-2019 to 27.7% in 2021-2022, an area that the school should address. Overall, Armada High School is a high-performing school that consistently ranks among the top schools in Michigan, but it may benefit from exploring ways to promote greater inclusivity and address the recent rise in chronic absenteeism.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
