Chippewa Hills High School is facing several challenges, including declining academic performance, high dropout rates, and increasing chronic absenteeism. The school's four-year graduation rate has dropped from 89.1% in 2019-2020 to 79.7% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average and some of the nearby schools like Big Rapids High School and Beal City High School. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has increased from 3.7% in 2018-2019 to 9.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 17.3% in 2019-2020 to 57.2% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average and the nearby schools.

Chippewa Hills High School's academic performance is generally below the state average and the nearby schools, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.2% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.3%. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (59.03%) may be contributing to its lower academic performance, as research has shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes. In comparison, the neighboring Mosaic School has even lower graduation rates (19.5%) and higher dropout rates (43.9%) than Chippewa Hills High School, as well as significantly lower test scores and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (87.63%).

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.
