Summary

Hazel Park High School is a public high school serving 557 students in grades 9-12 in Hazel Park, Michigan, which is part of the Hazel Park School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and relatively low graduation rates compared to state averages.

Hazel Park High School's academic proficiency lags behind the state, with only 13.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science, compared to the state average of 34.9%, and just 7.5% proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27.5%. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 51.5% to 90.1% in recent years, and its chronic absenteeism rate is significantly higher than the state average, ranging from 29.5% to 61.2%. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 70.22% to 74.51% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Hazel Park High School's performance is generally lower than the state average and some nearby schools, such as Madison High School and University High School, the surrounding district and schools also struggle with similar challenges. This suggests a need for comprehensive, district-wide interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for students in the Hazel Park community.

Hazel Park is a decent school, but there are too many people that disrespect the teachers and give the school a bad reputation. There are many smart people here that want a good education, but are unable to do so because of all of the distractions in classrooms. PV1 Napolitano Close Quote
