Summary:
The Oakridge Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Oakridge High School and Oakridge Fusion. While both schools face challenges, such as higher-than-average dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, they also demonstrate some academic strengths.
Oakridge High School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from #370 out of 735 Michigan high schools in 2022-2023 to #330 out of 739 in 2024-2025. The school also outperforms the state average in several key test score metrics, including 11th-grade proficiency in M-Step/Social Studies and SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average.
While Oakridge Fusion is a smaller school with only 33 students, it has a notably lower student-teacher ratio of 8.5 compared to 17.8 at Oakridge High School. This could indicate more personalized attention and support for students at Oakridge Fusion. However, both schools share a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, significantly above the state average, which may be an area for the district to address.
