High Schools in Dundee Community Schools

The Dundee Community Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Dundee Community High School and Riverside Academy. Based on the available data, Dundee Community High School appears to be the stronger performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dundee Community High School outperforms the district and state averages in several test score categories, including SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, where 65.7% of students were proficient or better, compared to 60.7% for the district and 55.4% for the state. However, the school lags behind in M-Step/Science and M-Step/Mathematics, where only 24.1% and 26.9% of students were proficient or better, respectively. In contrast, Riverside Academy only provided data for one test score category, M-Step/Social Studies, where 40% of students were proficient or better, compared to 47.5% for the district and 39.6% for the state.

Additionally, Dundee Community High School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 31.13%, compared to Riverside Academy's 59.52%. Riverside Academy, despite having a higher per-student spending of $22,199, compared to Dundee Community High School's $14,894 per student, seems to be underperforming compared to the district and state averages. This suggests that simply spending more money per student does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes.
