EA Johnson Memorial High School

Summary:

EA Johnson Memorial High School is a public high school located in Mount Morris, Michigan, serving 465 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Mt. Morris Consolidated Schools district, and its student population is predominantly White (around 60%), with significant populations of African American (around 20%) and Hispanic (around 9%) students.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $12,174 to $13,325 per student, EA Johnson Memorial High School has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom half of Michigan high schools over the past several years. Only 10-30% of students are proficient in core subjects like science, social studies, and math, and the school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 84.5% in 2019-2020 to 72.2% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 27% to 68.9% over the past few years, and a concerning increase in dropout rates, rising from 5.2% in 2018-2019 to 18% in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Kearsley High School, Clio Area High School, and Beecher High School, EA Johnson Memorial High School consistently underperforms on academic measures, graduation rates, and attendance. The school's performance on various student subgroups is also concerning, with rankings for female, male, White, and low-socioeconomic status students all in the bottom 20-30% of Michigan high schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. The district's alternative education option, the Mt. Morris Education and Community Center, has even lower performance metrics than EA Johnson Memorial High School.

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.
