Breckenridge High School

Summary:

Breckenridge High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Breckenridge, Michigan, with a total enrollment of 318 students. The school is part of the Breckenridge Community Schools district, which is ranked 192 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Breckenridge High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.5% to 94.3% over the past five years, it has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 15.4% in 2019-2020 to 28.7% in 2022-2023. This is notably higher than the state average of around 20%. Additionally, the school's test scores, as measured by the M-Step and SAT assessments, are generally below the state averages across various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for 6th and 7th grades were lower than the state averages.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Shepherd High School, Hemlock High School, and Ithaca High School, Breckenridge High School generally underperforms on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. These nearby schools tend to have higher rankings and better overall performance. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to focus on improving instructional practices, implementing targeted interventions for struggling students, and addressing the underlying factors contributing to the high chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
