Summary:

The Dryden Community Schools district in Michigan operates two schools: Dryden High School and Dryden Elementary School. The data shows that Dryden High School has a 3-star rating and ranks 275 out of 739 Michigan high schools, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8%. Dryden Elementary School also has a 3-star rating and ranks 710 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools, with strong performance in 4th grade M-Step English Language Arts.

Dryden High School has 232 students and performs above the state average in 11th grade SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing proficiency, while Dryden Elementary School has 227 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1. However, both schools have a concerning 29.5% chronic absenteeism rate, which may be an area for the district to focus on improving. The district's overall performance, as reflected in the 3-star ratings for both schools, suggests there is room for improvement across various academic measures.

The data also reveals that Dryden High School spends $14,026 per student, while Dryden Elementary School spends $14,371 per student. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (45.81%) compared to the high school (40.52%), which may indicate a greater need for additional support and resources at the younger grade levels within the district.
