Summary:
The city of Evart, Michigan is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mixed picture, with some schools struggling with declining performance and high chronic absenteeism, while others, like the alternative school, show signs of success.
Evart Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 711 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,069 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores are well below the state averages, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%. In contrast, Pineview Homes, the alternative school, has a high four-year graduation rate and a relatively low dropout rate, despite serving a small population and spending significantly more per student.
Across the Evart Public Schools district, chronic absenteeism rates are a significant concern, with all three schools reporting a rate of 29.5%, well above the state average. Additionally, the district's test scores are consistently lower than the state averages, particularly at Evart High School. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, over 70% in the Evart Public Schools, suggest that the district may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and achievement.
