GalesburgAugusta High School

Summary:

GalesburgAugusta High School is a public high school serving grades 8-12 in Galesburg, Michigan, with a student population of 348. The school is part of the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency, which is ranked 322 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

GalesburgAugusta High School faces several challenges, including a lack of racial diversity (87.93% white students, significantly higher than nearby schools like Parchment High School and Comstock High School), fluctuating graduation rates (ranging from 70.9% to 94.5%), and high chronic absenteeism (49.4%, much higher than Parchment High School at 23.4% and ClimaxScotts High School at 17.6%). The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are also below the state average and lag behind high-performing schools like Gull Lake High School.

While GalesburgAugusta High School's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $17,912 in 2022-2023, it is unclear if this higher spending has translated into improved student outcomes. The school should focus on addressing these areas of concern, such as improving racial diversity, graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores, to better serve the Galesburg 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.
