Summary:
The city of Gwinn, Michigan is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle/high school operated by the Gwinn Area Community Schools district. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with George D Gilbert Elementary School consistently outperforming the other schools and the district/state averages.
George D Gilbert Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school, with higher proficiency rates in core subjects and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Gwinn MiddleHigh School has the lowest performance, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages, particularly in Math. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%.
The data also reveals a potential relationship between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students (as indicated by free/reduced lunch recipients) generally performing worse than the school with a lower percentage of such students. This highlights the challenges faced by schools serving a higher percentage of students from low-income families and the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.
