New Haven High School has faced several challenges in recent years. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 305 and 418 out of Michigan high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has ranged from 1 to 3 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. While the school's four-year graduation rate has improved from 77.5% to 90.3%, it still lags behind the state average. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has varied from 1.3% to 4.9%, and its chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly from 21.0% to 33.0%, which is much higher than the state average.

Academically, New Haven High School's proficiency rates in Math (18.2%) and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (40.9%) are lower than the state averages. When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Dakota High School and High School North, both in the Chippewa Valley Schools district, New Haven High School's performance is significantly lower. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (54.95%) and potential achievement gaps among its diverse student population suggest that addressing socioeconomic and equity challenges should be a priority for the district.

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.
