New Lothrop High School

Summary:

New Lothrop High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with 401 students, located in the town of New Lothrop, Michigan, which is part of the New Lothrop Area Public Schools district. This high-performing school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong academic achievement compared to nearby schools.

New Lothrop High School has maintained an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate in the last two school years, significantly higher than the nearby Corunna High School (86.6%) and Owosso High School (92.1%). Correspondingly, the school has had very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 2.5% in the past five years, much lower than the dropout rates of Corunna High School (2.9%) and Owosso High School (1.6%). New Lothrop High School students also generally perform better than the state and district averages on standardized tests, including M-Step, SAT, and PSAT.

While New Lothrop High School has a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students identifying as White, the school's academic success may be attributed to its lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (31.17%) compared to nearby schools like Owosso High School (60.62%) and Hamady Community High School (94.38%). However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, from 7.5% in 2018-2019 to 13.2% in 2021-2022, is an area that the school may want to monitor and address.

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.
