Laingsburg High School

Summary:

Laingsburg High School is a public high school serving 363 students in grades 9-12 in the small town of Laingsburg, Michigan. The school is part of the Laingsburg Community Schools district, which is ranked 124 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Laingsburg High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates than the state average on the SAT in both Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (61.3% vs. 51.3%) and Mathematics (31.2% vs. 26.3%). The school also maintains high graduation rates, ranging from 92.8% to 98.8% over the past five years, well above the state average. However, Laingsburg High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.36%) compared to nearby schools like East Lansing High School, which has a more diverse student population.

While Laingsburg High School's academic performance is impressive, the school has faced some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.6% in 2019-2020 to 33.9% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 135 out of 561 Michigan high schools in 2020-2021 to 253 out of 743 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining strong academic results. This suggests that Laingsburg High School may be facing increasing competition from other high-performing schools in the state. Continued focus on student engagement and attendance, as well as targeted academic support, could help the school address these areas and sustain its strong performance.

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.
