Summary:
The Iron Mountain High School is the sole high school in the Iron Mountain Public Schools district in Michigan. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 286 out of 735 Michigan high schools in 2022-2023 to 525 out of 739 in 2024-2025.
Iron Mountain High School's academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates on state assessments falling below the state and district averages across multiple subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which can have a direct impact on student learning and achievement.
Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges, as it serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 43.46% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $12,687 is slightly above the state average, but the student-teacher ratio of 21.2 is slightly higher than the state average. Addressing these factors and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes and ensure the long-term success of Iron Mountain High School.
