High Schools in Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools

The Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: GalesburgAugusta High School and GalesburgAugusta Alternative Education. While the main high school has a relatively large enrollment of 256 students, the alternative school serves a smaller population of 14 students.

The main high school is ranked 325 out of 743 Michigan high schools, placing it in the middle of the state rankings. Its graduation rate of 82.8% and dropout rate of 7.6% are decent but could be improved. The school's test scores are mixed, with some areas above the state average, such as Science and Evidence-Based Reading/Writing, and others, like Mathematics, falling below. The alternative school, on the other hand, shares the same graduation and dropout rates as the main high school, suggesting it is effectively serving its students.

Notably, the alternative school caters to a more economically disadvantaged student population, with 78.57% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 51.56% at the main high school. This disparity is reflected in the spending per student, with the main high school spending $19,790 per student and the alternative school spending $10,316 per student. The data highlights the need to ensure equitable resource allocation and targeted support for the more economically disadvantaged students attending the alternative school.
