Haslett Public Schools

The Haslett Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Wilkshire School, Vera Ralya Elementary School, and Murphy Elementary School), 1 middle school (Haslett Middle School), and 1 high school (Haslett High School). The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several schools ranking among the top in the state.

Haslett High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 48th out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 5-star rating. It boasts impressive test scores, with 67% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and 44% proficient or better in SAT Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low dropout rate of 7.6%. Haslett Middle School is another standout, ranking 35th out of 897 Michigan middle schools and earning a 5-star rating. It has exceptional test scores, with 85.6% of 8th graders proficient or better in PSAT English Language Arts and 59.5% proficient or better in PSAT Mathematics.

While the district as a whole performs well academically, there are some areas of concern. All schools in the district have a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is quite high. Additionally, there is some variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools, with the elementary schools generally having lower ratios and higher spending per student compared to the middle and high schools. These factors may contribute to potential equity concerns within the district that warrant further investigation.
