However, the alternative school, Ottawa Area Center, has significantly lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and higher chronic absenteeism compared to the other schools in the district, indicating a need for additional support and interventions.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic diversity within the district, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from around 25% at Allendale High School to over 70% at New Options High School. Spending per student also varies widely, from just over $11,000 at New Options High School to over $16,000 at Evergreen Elementary, which could be due to differences in student needs, program offerings, or other factors.
