Summary:
The Chesaning Union Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Chesaning Union High School and Chesaning Union Schools Alternative Education. While both schools share similar graduation and dropout rates, Chesaning Union High School stands out as the district's top performer, consistently ranking highly within the state and outperforming the district and state averages in several key academic areas.
Chesaning Union High School has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranked 40th out of 743 Michigan high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's students have demonstrated strong performance on standardized tests, including M-Step/Social Studies, SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT/Mathematics. In contrast, the alternative education school does not have any ranking history provided, suggesting it may serve a different student population with specialized needs.
The data also reveals that the alternative education school serves a significantly higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds, with a 90% free and reduced lunch rate, compared to 51.52% at Chesaning Union High School. This is reflected in the lower spending per student and smaller student-teacher ratio at the alternative education school, which may indicate a focus on personalized attention and targeted interventions for its students. Overall, the insights highlight the importance of analyzing school performance at both the individual school and district levels to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
