In contrast, Fennville Middle School stands out as a relative bright spot, with some grade levels performing better than the state averages on standardized tests, particularly in the PSAT. The district's high schools, Fennville Public High School and Fennville Alternative High School, both have comparable graduation and dropout rates, despite the alternative high school's smaller enrollment of 43 students.
Overall, the Fennville Public Schools district faces significant challenges, with most schools underperforming academically and serving a population with high levels of economic disadvantage. Addressing issues such as chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted academic interventions could be crucial in improving the overall performance of the district.
