Summary:
The Coleman Junior-Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Coleman Community Schools district in Michigan. With an enrollment of 268 students in grades 7-12, the school has faced some challenges in recent years, including a declining state ranking and underperformance in core academic areas compared to state averages.
While the school's 2022-2023 ranking placed it 221 out of 735 Michigan high schools, its ranking has since dropped to 336 out of 743 in 2023-2024 and 337 out of 739 in 2024-2025, suggesting a potential decline in overall performance. The school's proficiency rates in 7th grade ELA and Math are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating challenges in these core subject areas. However, the school performs better than the state average in 11th grade Science and Social Studies proficiency.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as 50% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Despite the school's relatively high spending of $18,171 per student, it's unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved performance. Overall, the data suggests that Coleman Junior-Senior High School faces a range of challenges that will need to be addressed to improve the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
