High Schools in Dexter


Summary:

The Dexter area has only one high school, Dexter High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the past few years, from 56th out of 190 schools to 120th out of 170 schools. While the school has shown some strengths, such as outperforming the state average in SAT School Day/English Language Arts for 11th grade, it also faces challenges, including underperformance in mathematics and science, as well as a below-average four-year graduation rate.

Dexter High School's student population faces significant economic challenges, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating high levels of poverty. This may have implications for the school's resources and support systems. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6, which could be a potential strength, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.

Overall, the data suggests that Dexter High School is a school with mixed performance, facing both strengths and challenges. Further analysis and investigation would be needed to fully understand the school's performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
