Summary:
The city of Horton, Michigan is home to two schools - HanoverHorton High School and HanoverHorton Middle School, which are part of the Hanover-Horton School District. The high school stands out as a strong-performing institution, consistently ranking in the top 35% of Michigan high schools over the past 3 years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
In contrast, the middle school appears to be performing more average, with a 2-3 star rating and middle-of-the-pack rankings among Michigan middle schools. The high school boasts strong academic performance, with 11th-grade students scoring significantly above the state average in subjects like Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of nearly 30% at both the high school and middle school levels.
Interestingly, the high school spends more per student ($15,312) compared to the middle school ($12,494), which could be a factor in the performance gap between the two institutions. Overall, the data suggests that while the Hanover-Horton School District is performing above average in the state, there is room for improvement, particularly at the middle school level, to ensure all students in the Horton area receive a high-quality education.
