Gobles Public School District

The Gobles Public School District in Michigan operates three schools: Gobles High School, Gobles Elementary School, and Gobles Virtual Academy. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Among the standout schools in the district, Gobles High School ranks 283 out of 739 Michigan high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 82.8% and a lower dropout rate of 7.6%. Academically, Gobles High School students outperform the district and state averages in English Language Arts and SAT Math. Gobles Elementary School also stands out, ranking 612 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school's 3rd and 4th graders demonstrate strong performance in M-Step Math, exceeding the district and state averages.

However, the district as a whole faces challenges related to student demographics and resource allocation. All three schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and the chronic absenteeism rate is around 29.5% across the district. Additionally, there is a significant disparity in per-student spending, with Gobles High School spending nearly twice as much per student as Gobles Elementary School. The Gobles Virtual Academy, despite its small size, appears to be effectively serving its students, with graduation and dropout rates similar to the high school.
