Gobles High School

Summary:

Gobles High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bloomingdale Public School District, with a student population of 330 in the small town of Gobles, Michigan. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and performance metrics, it faces several key challenges that impact the educational experience of its students.

Gobles High School's graduation rates have ranged from 77.7% to 92.4% over the past five years, lower than the state average and nearby high schools like Otsego High School (94.6%) and Mattawan High School (92.7%). The school also experiences relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 5.6% to 11.1%, significantly higher than the dropout rates of Otsego High School (1.3%) and Mattawan High School (4.1%). Additionally, Gobles High School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.4% to 28.6%, which is notably higher than the rates of nearby high schools.

The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step and SAT assessments, is generally lower than the state and district averages. This may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the nearby high schools. Additionally, Gobles High School has a less diverse student population, with a much higher percentage of White students (86.97%) compared to the nearby high schools. While the school has increased its per-student spending in recent years, the impact on academic outcomes is not yet clear. Addressing these key areas of concern may be crucial for Gobles High School to improve its overall performance and provide a more equitable and successful educational experience for its students.

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.
