Lowell Area Schools

The Lowell Area Schools district in Michigan consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is generally high-performing, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Murray Lake Elementary and Alto Elementary School are two of the top-performing elementary schools, with strong performance in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Lowell Senior High School is the district's main high school and ranks among the best in Michigan, with high SAT scores and strong performance across subject areas.

While the district as a whole outperforms state averages on assessments, there is some variation in performance between the schools. The Unity Alternative School has lower rankings and performance compared to the other schools, which may reflect the unique needs and challenges of its student population. The district also has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, an area that could be addressed to further improve student outcomes. Additionally, the significant variation in per-student spending, from $13,000 to $20,600, suggests the district may want to examine its funding allocation to ensure equitable resources across all schools.
