Summary:
Marlette Community Schools is a small school district in Michigan that serves the town of Marlette and the surrounding area. The district has only one high school, Marlette JrSr High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. While the school has seen some fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, it currently ranks 477th out of 739 high schools in Michigan, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Marlette JrSr High School faces several academic challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies consistently falling below the state averages. The school's graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with 29.5% of students being chronically absent during the 2023-2024 school year.
However, the school does show some academic strengths in the earlier grades, with 8th-grade students outperforming the state averages on PSAT/English Language Arts and PSAT/Mathematics assessments. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $13,835 is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 18.5 is within the typical range for high schools. These factors suggest that the district may be able to leverage its resources and earlier academic successes to address the challenges faced by Marlette JrSr High School and improve overall student performance.
