CHSHorizons School

Summary:

CHSHorizons School is a small public high school in Mohawk, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 68 students. While part of the Public Schools of Calumet Laurium & Keweenaw district, the school has consistently struggled to provide quality education, ranking in the bottom quarter of Michigan high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Key challenges facing CHSHorizons School include extremely low graduation rates, ranging from 33.3% to 46.6% over the past 5 years, compared to 77.1% at Calumet High School and 95.6% at Houghton Central High School. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 13.3% to 26%, and very high chronic absenteeism, from 36.5% to 56.7%. Proficiency rates in core subjects like science and social studies are significantly lower than nearby schools and the state average.

The data suggests that CHSHorizons School faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 79.41% to 83.82% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the 44.54% at Calumet High School and 24.73% at Houghton Central High School. While the school's small size and proximity to higher-performing schools like Houghton Central High School and Calumet High School could provide opportunities for improvement, the persistent struggles at CHSHorizons School suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the complex challenges facing this community.

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.
