Summary:

The city of Carleton, Michigan is home to two high schools: Airport Senior High School and Airport Middle College. These schools serve students in the Airport Community Schools district.

While both schools have similar four-year graduation rates above the state average, they differ in several key areas. Airport Middle College has a much smaller enrollment of only 09 students, suggesting a more specialized educational program. In contrast, Airport Senior High School has a larger student body of 776 and generally performs below state and district averages on standardized test scores. Additionally, Airport Senior High School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population.

The per-student spending also varies significantly between the two schools, with Airport Senior High School spending $14,553 per student, compared to $3,871 per student at Airport Middle College. This discrepancy in resource allocation may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed between the schools.
