Singer High School presents a unique profile, excelling in advanced coursework despite its alternative classification. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.4:1 and an enrollment of 346 students, the school offers small class sizes. A standout finding is its exceptional performance in high school math, with Algebra I proficiency at 77% and Geometry at 76% for the 2025-2026 school year, significantly outperforming both the district and state averages. The school also shows strength in English Language Arts, with an overall proficiency rate of 72%, matching the district and exceeding the state. However, overall math proficiency (47%) and social studies proficiency (45%) lag behind district and state averages, and the school faces a challenge with a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.8%, which is higher than both the district and state.
Key metrics include a graduation rate of 83.3% and a dropout rate of 2.4%, which is below the state average. The school has shown notable year-over-year improvement in several End-of-Course exams, including a 14-point jump in Biology and a 9-point increase in Algebra I. While 62.43% of students are economically disadvantaged, the school's ability to achieve strong results in advanced math and English suggests effective instruction for college and career readiness, even as foundational skills in lower grades may need attention. The high absenteeism rate remains a critical area for potential improvement.
