Summary:
The Fenton Area Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Fenton Senior High School and Fapsgear Up Academy. While both schools serve high school students, they differ significantly in their enrollment, academic performance, and student outcomes.
Fenton Senior High School stands out as the stronger-performing school in the district. With an enrollment of 1,048 students, the school consistently ranks among the top 100 high schools in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, including the M-STEP and SAT. In contrast, Fapsgear Up Academy, a public magnet virtual high school with only 75 students, struggles academically, with significantly lower SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing proficiency rates compared to the district and state.
Despite the differences in academic performance, both schools have similar four-year graduation rates (82.8%) and dropout rates (7.6%) for the 2023-2024 school year. However, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 29.5%. The data also reveals a stark contrast in the socioeconomic status of the student populations, with Fapsgear Up Academy serving a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (62.67%) compared to Fenton Senior High School (29.68%). This difference in socioeconomic status may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools.
