High Schools in Newaygo Public School District

Summary:

The Newaygo Public School District in Michigan has only one high school, Newaygo High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 269th out of 735 Michigan high schools in 2022-2023 to 400th out of 739 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Newaygo High School's key metrics and statistics paint a concerning picture. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 29.5% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Newaygo High School's test scores are generally below the state averages in M-Step Science, M-Step Social Studies, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT Mathematics.

Despite the school's below-average performance, it spends more per student ($14,439 in 2023-2024) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (20.9) than the state average. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the high percentage of students (59.49%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance on various metrics.
