Summary:
Evart Public Schools operates a single high school, Evart High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 in the city of Evart, Michigan. Based on the available data, Evart High School is a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom half of Michigan high schools over the past three school years and earning a below-average 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Evart High School faces several key challenges, including a 4-year graduation rate slightly below the state average, a dropout rate higher than the state average, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below state averages in all subject areas, including M-Step Science, M-Step Social Studies, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT Mathematics.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $14,326, the data suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning. The school's high percentage of students (72.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which could be contributing to the school's persistent academic struggles. Addressing the root causes of these challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and resource allocation, will be crucial for Evart Public Schools to improve the performance of Evart High School and better serve its students.
