High Schools in Allendale Public Schools

Summary:

The Allendale Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Allendale High School and New Options High School. Based on the available data, Allendale High School appears to be the stronger performing school in the district, with higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to New Options High School.

Allendale High School has consistently ranked in the top half of Michigan high schools, with a ranking between 225 and 255 out of 739-743 schools in recent years. In contrast, New Options High School has ranked much lower, between 519 and 716 out of 824-852 schools. Both schools have a four-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a dropout rate of 7.6% for the 2023-2024 school year. Allendale High School outperforms the district and state averages in most test score categories, except for M-Step/Science, where its performance is below the averages.

The data also reveals potential equity concerns within the district. Allendale High School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (25.52%) compared to New Options High School (57.78%), suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population at the latter school. This difference in student demographics may be an area for further investigation to ensure that all students have access to quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
