High Schools in Owosso Public Schools

The Owosso Public Schools district in Michigan operates two high schools: Owosso High School and Lincoln Alternative High School. While both schools serve grades 9-12, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.

Owosso High School is the stronger-performing school, ranking higher than Lincoln Alternative High School in the statewide rankings. It has a higher four-year graduation rate, better standardized test scores, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Lincoln Alternative High School struggles academically, ranking in the bottom 5% of Michigan high schools, and has significantly lower test scores, particularly in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.

The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the performance disparity, as Lincoln Alternative High School has a much higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Owosso High School. Additionally, the difference in per-student spending between the two schools may indicate an imbalance in resource allocation within the Owosso Public Schools district.
