The schools in the district have relatively high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.46% at Leslie High School to 59.67% at Woodworth Elementary School, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
The Ingham Virtual High School has significantly lower spending per student ($5,839) compared to the traditional high school ($13,863), and a very low student-teacher ratio of 3.2.
