Summary:

Quincy High School is a public high school located in Quincy, Michigan, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 391. The school is part of the Coldwater Community Schools district, which is ranked 309 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quincy High School faces several challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, lower test scores, higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, and a student population with a higher percentage of low-income families. The school's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Jonesville High School and Coldwater High School, on metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that Quincy High School may face unique challenges or have room for improvement compared to its peers.

The relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Quincy High School, ranging from 36.19% to 43.73% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance on certain metrics, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with educational outcomes. Additionally, the school's performance on various metrics, such as graduation rates and test scores, varies significantly among different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for female students and white students generally lower than the overall school ranking.

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.
