Fraser High School

Summary:

Fraser High School is a public high school located in Fraser, Michigan, serving 1,524 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lake Shore Public Schools (Macomb) district, which is ranked 266 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fraser High School has a predominantly white student population, with 73.49% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the racial diversity of nearby schools like Warren Woods Tower High School (55.4% white) and Clintondale High School (25.07% white). Academically, Fraser High School has consistently performed better than the state average on standardized tests, such as the M-Step and SAT, with 42.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step Science and 58.2% proficient or better in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to state averages of 37.5% and 51.3%, respectively. The school has also maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.9% to 95.3% over the past five years, significantly higher than nearby schools like North Lake High School (22.8%) and Warren Woods Enterprise High School (73.0%).

While Fraser High School generally outperforms nearby schools, it faces some challenges. The school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 36.7% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is still better than nearby schools like North Lake High School (57.4%) and Warren Woods Enterprise High School (84.9%), but a concern nonetheless. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests varies across different student subgroups, with African American students outperforming the state average but special education students struggling in comparison to their peers statewide.

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.

Open Quote I am a graduating senior of the class of 2012, and I have went to Fraser schools for all of my education. This school--academically-- can be a very great choice; however, it does vary by teacher, as well as the choice of class and a student's effort. The biggest issue I have come across is the lack of consequences or the unfitting consequences given to children who disobey the rules; the issues I have personally been involved with that receive the most unjust punishments include sexual orientation and sexual harassment. This is mostly do to the school's ineffectiveness (even after having been approached several times) to enforce strict policies. The way to solve an issue is to have a parent contact the child's principle and to have the student write an incident report and turn it into the office. The school rarely will address the issue unless contacted by a parent. Close Quote

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.
