High Schools in Allegan Public Schools

Summary:

The Allegan Public Schools district in Michigan operates two high schools: Allegan High School and Allegan Alternative High School. While both schools share similar graduation and dropout rates, Allegan High School appears to be the stronger performing school overall, with higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Allegan Alternative High School serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, with 69.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 45.77% at Allegan High School. This disparity in student demographics is reflected in the schools' per-student spending, with Allegan High School spending $17,142 per student and Allegan Alternative High School spending $11,712 per student.

Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of around 30%, which likely have a significant impact on student learning and achievement. Additionally, the higher student-teacher ratio at Allegan Alternative High School (28:1 vs. 21.7:1 at Allegan High School) may be a contributing factor to its lower performance. Addressing these issues, as well as ensuring equitable resource allocation, could lead to more positive outcomes for all students in the Allegan Public Schools district.
