Windover High School

Windover High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Midland, Michigan, with a total enrollment of 61 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance across key metrics like state assessments and SAT scores falls significantly below the Michigan state averages. Windover High School also struggles with extremely low graduation rates and high dropout rates, as well as concerning chronic absenteeism issues.

Academically, Windover High School lags behind the state in proficiency rates for 11th-grade M-Step/Science (25% vs. 37.5%), M-Step/Social Studies (21.43% vs. 39.6%), and SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (23.5% vs. 51.3%). The school's four-year graduation rate is a mere 20%, and its dropout rate is a high 40%. Additionally, Windover High School struggles with chronic absenteeism, with over half (52.9%) of its students missing a significant amount of school.

Despite spending more per student ($17,289) than the state average, Windover High School is clearly underperforming and failing to provide a quality education to its students. The school's leadership and the Windover High School district should prioritize addressing the low academic achievement, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism issues to improve student outcomes and ensure the school is effectively utilizing its resources.
