Summary:

Port Huron High School is a public high school serving around 1,100 students in grades 9-12 in Port Huron, Michigan, which is part of the Port Huron Area School District. The school has a diverse student population, with 67.18% White, 12.09% African American, 8.36% Hispanic, and 11.36% two or more races.

Academically, Port Huron High School performs relatively low compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in M-Step/Science, 32% in M-Step/Social Studies, 37.2% in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and 13% in SAT/Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate is 83.7%, lower than the 91.0% rate at Port Huron Northern High School. Additionally, Port Huron High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 43.8% and a dropout rate of 8.3%, both significantly higher than the nearby Port Huron Northern High School.

The data suggests that Port Huron High School faces significant challenges, with a high percentage of students (68.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population. This may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community to support the academic and social-emotional needs of the students.

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.
