Summary:
The city of Port Huron, Michigan, is home to 15 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 6 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's performance is generally below the state average, but there are some standout schools that offer promising educational opportunities.
Among the middle schools, Holland Woods Middle School stands out with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and relatively strong test scores, particularly in 8th grade science and social studies. At the high school level, Blue Water Middle College Academy, a public charter school, has the highest ranking with a 4-star rating and high graduation rates, as well as low free/reduced lunch rates compared to other schools in the district. The East Shore Leadership Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school, also stands out with a 3-star district rating and some of the strongest test scores in the district, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.
While the district's overall performance is below the state average, there are some areas of strength, such as the higher performance of Port Huron Northern High School in certain subject areas. However, the district faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is much higher than the state average. The data also reveals disparities in resources and performance across the schools, with the highest-performing schools generally having lower free/reduced lunch rates and higher spending per student. Addressing these issues and learning from the district's brighter spots may be crucial for improving educational outcomes for all students in the Port Huron Area School District.
