Three Rivers High School

Summary:

Three Rivers High School is a public high school serving 653 students in grades 9-12 in Three Rivers, Michigan, which is part of the Vicksburg Community Schools district.

While Three Rivers High School has a relatively diverse student population, with 73.35% White, 8.27% African American, 8.12% Hispanic, and 8.58% two or more races, its academic performance lags behind some nearby high-performing schools like Marcellus High School and Schoolcraft High School. The school's four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.8% to 92.4% over the past five years, is lower than the 97.2% rate at Marcellus High School and the 91.0% rate at Schoolcraft High School.

One of the most pressing issues at Three Rivers High School is the significant rise in chronic absenteeism, from 21.1% in 2019-2020 to 39.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the 23.3% rate at Marcellus High School and the 23.0% rate at Schoolcraft High School.

Addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of higher-performing nearby schools could be crucial for Three Rivers High School to better serve its diverse student population.

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.
