Summary:
The Bloomingdale Public School District in Michigan is home to a single high school, Bloomingdale Middle and High School, which serves students in grades 6-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Bloomingdale Middle and High School faces several challenges. Its 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, at 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency ranging from 3.75% in 7th grade math to 46.4% in 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts.
The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 72.82% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This, combined with the school's poor academic performance, raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of the school to provide equal opportunities for all students. Addressing the school's performance, attendance, and equity issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the challenges facing the school.
