Northview Public Schools

Summary:

The Northview Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 207 out of 613 in Michigan and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. West Oakview Elementary School has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, while Crossroads Middle School has ranked in the top 30% of Michigan middle schools. Northview High School has also shown strong performance, ranking in the top third of Michigan high schools. The district's graduation rate is 82.8%, and the dropout rate is 7.6%, which are both reasonable but could be improved.

However, the district faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across all schools. Additionally, the Northview Next Learning Center and Northview Next Career Center appear to serve a more disadvantaged student population, with higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower test scores compared to the district's other schools. The significant variation in spending per student across the schools also suggests the district may need to examine its resource allocation to ensure equity and support for all students.
