High Schools in St. Ignace Area Schools

Summary:

The St. Ignace Area Schools district in Michigan has only one high school, LaSalle High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been a concern, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 444 and 524 out of 735-743 high schools in recent years and a current 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

LaSalle High School's graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year. Academically, LaSalle High School's test scores in subjects like M-Step Science, M-Step Social Studies, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT Mathematics have consistently fallen below the state averages.

The data suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 61.49% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school district spends $16,962 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 16.8, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's declining performance and underperformance in academics are areas of concern that the district and school leadership should address.
