Rudyard Area Schools

Summary:

Rudyard Area Schools is an alternative public magnet school serving grades PK-12 in Rudyard, Michigan, with a diverse student population that has shifted in recent years. The school has seen fluctuating graduation and dropout rates, high chronic absenteeism, and generally strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to nearby schools like Cedarville School, Ojibwe Charter School, Brimley Area School, and Pickford Public Schools.

Rudyard Area Schools' four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 78.9% in 2020-2021 to 91.3% in 2018-2019, while its dropout rates have varied from 2.5% in 2021-2022 to 13.1% in 2022-2023. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% in 2020-2021 to 47.6% in 2021-2022, which is a significant concern. Academically, the school generally performs better than the state average on M-Step and SAT/PSAT assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but its science and social studies scores are more mixed.

Rudyard Area Schools has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.07% in 2021-2022 to 71.31% in 2022-2023, indicating significant economic challenges within the school community. The school's diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation, is an asset, but the school may need to ensure it is providing culturally responsive and inclusive education. Overall, Rudyard Area Schools faces both strengths and challenges, and by addressing areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, the school can continue to support the success of its 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.
