Huron School District

The Huron School District in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district faces some challenges, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and uneven academic performance across the schools, but also has some standout performers, like Brown Elementary School and Carl T Renton Junior High School.

Brown Elementary School stands out with consistently high test scores, with 5th-grade students performing above the district and state averages in multiple subjects. In contrast, Huron High School struggles to meet state averages on standardized tests, despite having a relatively high 90.2% four-year graduation rate. The district's middle school, Carl T Renton Junior High School, stands out with strong PSAT performance and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the high school.

Across the district, there are concerns about high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.8% to 31.1% in the elementary and middle schools, and 27.2% in the high school. Additionally, the district serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 28.06% to 42.71%. Addressing these challenges, while building on the strengths of the district's top-performing schools, could help improve educational outcomes for all students in the Huron School District.
