Harbor High School

Summary:

Harbor High School is a public high school located in White Lake, Michigan, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 143 students. While the school is part of the Huron Valley Schools district, which is generally performing well, Harbor High School appears to be significantly underperforming compared to its peers.

The key insights reveal that Harbor High School has a much higher percentage of white students (86.71%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 61.34% to 89.95% white students. Academically, the school consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with only 16.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science, compared to 51.3% for the Huron Valley Schools district and 37.5% for the state. Additionally, Harbor High School has had low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 59.6% to 75.0% over the past five years, significantly lower than the 92.7% rate at Milford High School and 96.0% rate at Lakeland High School, which are also part of the Huron Valley Schools district.

Further insights show that Harbor High School has consistently had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 62.3% to 75.1% over the past five years, much higher than the 25.5% rate at Milford High School and 29.2% rate at Lakeland High School. The school also has a much higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.73% to 59.71%, compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 18.65% to 46.67%. These factors suggest that Harbor High School may be serving a lower-income population, which could contribute to the observed academic and attendance challenges.

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.
