Covert Public Schools

The Covert Public Schools district in Michigan consists of three schools: Covert Elementary School, Covert High School, and Covert Middle School. The district serves a predominantly low-income population, with all three schools having very high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.15% to 96.13%.

Based on the available data, none of the schools in the Covert Public Schools district appear to be performing at a high level. All three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state averages, with the 4th grade English Language Arts proficiency at Covert Elementary School being just 12%, compared to the state average of 42.4%. Similarly, the 11th grade Science proficiency at Covert High School is 13.64%, well below the state average of 34.9%. The district also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, with all three schools reporting a 29.5% chronic absenteeism rate, which is much higher than the state average.

The Covert Public Schools district seems to be facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students. The low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and equity concerns related to the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients suggest that the district may need to implement substantial improvements and interventions to address these issues. Addressing the root causes of the district's struggles should be a top priority for the school leadership and the community.
