Summary:

Manton Consolidated High School is a public high school serving 285 students in grades 9-12 in Manton, Michigan, which is part of the Manton Consolidated Schools district. While the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate, it faces several challenges, including a low statewide ranking, below-average test scores, and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Manton Consolidated High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan high schools, placing it between 399-538 out of 743 schools statewide. However, the school performs better for female students and low socioeconomic status students compared to the overall school ranking, suggesting these subgroups are outperforming the school's overall performance. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 90.5% to 94.9% in recent years, which is above the state average, but its dropout rate has fluctuated significantly, ranging from 2.5% to 13.5%, which is a concerning metric.

When compared to nearby high schools like McBain High School, Mesick Consolidated JrSr High School, and Kingsley Area High School, Manton Consolidated High School generally performs worse on key metrics such as statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.4% to 51.2% in recent years, are a significant concern and may be contributing to the school's lower academic 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.
