Summary:
Morley Stanwood Community Schools is a school district in Michigan that serves the Morley Stanwood area, and it contains only one high school, Morley Stanwood High School. The high school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan high schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.
Morley Stanwood High School faces several challenges, including a four-year graduation rate of 82.8%, which is lower than the state average, and a dropout rate of 7.6%, which is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state averages in all subject areas, with only 16.7% of students proficient in SAT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27.5%. The school also has a high percentage of students (62.46%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,260 for the 2023-2024 school year, it is still underperforming compared to the state average, which raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance and graduation rates, and could be an area for further investigation and intervention.
