High Schools in Bendle Public Schools

Summary:

Bendle Public Schools operates a single high school, Bendle High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school is located in Michigan and is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 646 out of 739 for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bendle High School faces significant challenges, including a low 82.8% four-year graduation rate, a high 7.6% dropout rate, and a concerning 29.5% chronic absenteeism rate. The school's test scores are also significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 11.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science compared to the state average of 34.9%. Additionally, the school has a very high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 91.61%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be spending more per student than the state average at $15,347 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the data suggests that the school is struggling to effectively allocate its resources to address the needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors.
