High Schools in North Central Area Schools

Summary:

The North Central Area Senior High School is the sole high school within the North Central Area Schools district in Michigan. This standout school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, ranking 61st out of 735 high schools in 2022-2023 and 70th out of 743 in 2023-2024, earning 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

With a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% in 2023-2024, which is above the state average, and test scores significantly higher than the state averages across multiple subjects, North Central Area Senior High School is providing a high-quality education and effectively preparing students for academic success. The school spends $18,003 per student, higher than the state average, indicating it is allocating significant resources to support student learning and development.

Despite serving a population where over 40% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school is able to achieve these strong academic results, suggesting it is effectively supporting all students regardless of their socioeconomic background. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is relatively high, which could be a potential area of concern that the school may need to address to further improve its already impressive performance.
