Summary:
The McBain Rural Agricultural Schools district in Michigan is home to a single high school, McBain High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking between 240 and 303 out of 735-743 Michigan high schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
McBain High School's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in science and social studies proficiency but weaknesses in reading/writing and mathematics on state assessments. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 7.6% and chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% are higher than the state averages. The school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.9%), indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be receiving a relatively high level of per-student funding ($14,154) and has a student-teacher ratio of 17.6, which is slightly higher than the state average. These resources suggest that the district is investing in the school, but the mixed academic performance indicates that the resources may not be optimized or effectively utilized to support student success. Overall, McBain High School faces a range of academic and demographic factors that may impact its performance, and the district may need to focus on improving outcomes in certain subject areas and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
