Summary:
Coloma Community Schools operates a single high school, Coloma High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 411 out of 739 schools in 2024-2025 to 578 out of 735 schools in 2022-2023. Coloma High School is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state of Michigan.
Coloma High School's key metrics and statistics reveal several areas of concern. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% compared to the state average. Academically, Coloma High School's test scores are generally below the state averages in subjects like Math, Science, and Social Studies, though the school performed better in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.
The data also shows that 57.1% of Coloma High School students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the higher-than-average spending of $15,636 per student, the school's academic performance remains below the state average, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning.
