Vicksburg High School

Summary:

Vicksburg High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Vicksburg, Michigan, with a student population of 728. The school is part of the Vicksburg Community Schools district, which is ranked 195 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vicksburg High School consistently performs well academically, ranking in the top 20% of Michigan high schools in recent years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 142 out of 743 Michigan high schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 93.3% in the 2022-2023 school year is significantly higher than the state average, and Vicksburg High School students outperform the state and district averages in various standardized tests, including the M-Step and SAT. However, the school's performance for students with special needs is an area of concern, as it ranked 253 out of 315 Michigan high schools for this subgroup in the 2017-2018 school year.

While Vicksburg High School has a predominantly white student population, the school's performance for different racial subgroups appears to be relatively equitable. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $10,339 in the 2019-2020 school year to $14,549 in the 2022-2023 school year, which may have contributed to the school's academic success. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.9% in the 2020-2021 school year to 36.4% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is an area that the school may need to 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.
