Cadillac Innovation High School

Summary:

Cadillac Innovation High School is a public high school in Cadillac, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 152. However, the school has faced significant challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism that is nearly double the rate of the nearby Cadillac Senior High School.

Academically, Cadillac Innovation High School students consistently underperform compared to the Cadillac Area Public Schools district and the state of Michigan on standardized tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 15.4% of 11th graders were proficient or better in M-Step/Science, compared to 46% for the district and 37.5% for the state. The school's performance has also declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 567 out of 666 in 2018-2019 to 440 out of 735 in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, Cadillac Innovation High School has a student population that is predominantly White, similar to the racial makeup of nearby schools. However, the school faces significant challenges related to socioeconomic status, with 84.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the 50.06% at Cadillac Senior High School. These factors, along with the high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic achievement, suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in terms of student engagement, access to resources, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
