Summary:

Beecher High School is a public high school located in Mount Morris, Michigan, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 262. The school is part of the Beecher Community School District and has a predominantly African American student body at 88.55%.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($18,892 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, Beecher High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools, with only 12.5% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 37.9%. The school has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 59.6% to 76.7% over the past five years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 13.9% to 21.0%, much higher than the state average. Beecher High School also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.4% to 68.7% over the past five years, much higher than the state average.

Beecher High School's performance is significantly worse than nearby schools, such as Genesee Early College and Genesee High School, which have higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. The school's poor outcomes, despite higher spending per student, suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the root causes of these issues.

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.
