Evart Public Schools

The Evart Public Schools district in Michigan consists of three schools: Evart Elementary School, Evart High School, and Evart Middle School. The district faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high-need student population.

Evart Elementary School stands out with relatively low performance on state assessments, a high chronic absenteeism rate, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Evart High School also struggles with low performance on state assessments, a relatively low graduation rate, and a high dropout rate. Evart Middle School has mixed performance, with some grades and subjects performing better than others compared to state averages.

Across the district, the schools consistently underperform the state averages on various state assessments, and all three schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the district has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.2% to 74.6%, indicating a high-need student population. Despite the district's relatively high spending per student, the academic performance remains low, suggesting a need for a comprehensive review of the district's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to address the challenges faced by students.
