Cheboygan Area Schools

The Cheboygan Area Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves students from the Cheboygan area, providing a range of educational opportunities.

Among the schools, Cheboygan Area High School stands out as the top performer, with a statewide ranking of 182 out of 739 Michigan high schools and strong test scores across various subjects. Cheboygan Intermediate School also performs well, with a statewide ranking of 386 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools and particularly strong performance in English Language Arts. In contrast, Inverness Academy, the district's alternative high school, lags behind the other high school in the district but still manages to outperform the district and state averages in some areas.

The district as a whole faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools and consistently high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. The district's spending per student is relatively consistent, suggesting an even allocation of resources, but further targeted investments in certain schools or programs may be beneficial to address the specific needs of the student population and improve overall outcomes.
