High Schools in Morenci Area Schools

Summary:

The Morenci Area Schools district in Michigan has only one high school, Morenci Middle and High School, which serves students in grades 6-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating over the past few years.

Morenci Middle and High School's graduation rate of 82.8% and dropout rate of 7.6% in 2023-2024 suggest the school is performing below the state average in terms of student retention and success. The school's test scores have also been mixed, with some subject areas exceeding the state average and others falling short. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 in 2023-2024 indicates a favorable staffing situation that could be leveraged to improve academic performance.

The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (55.88% in 2023-2024). Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $17,091 in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, suggesting the district is making an effort to support the school. However, the impact of this investment on student outcomes is not clear from the data provided.
