Summary:
The Redford Union Schools District No. 1 in Michigan is home to three high schools: Redford Union High School, Redford Union Virtual Learning, and Veritas. However, none of these schools appear to be standouts, as they all perform below the state average in Michigan.
Academically, the proficiency rates on state assessments (M-Step and SAT) are significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6.8% of Redford Union High School students were proficient in SAT Math, compared to the state average of 27.5%. Additionally, the schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%, which is much higher than the state average of 18.2%. The graduation rates around 82.8% and dropout rates around 7.6% for the 2023-2024 school year are also slightly below and above the state averages, respectively.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the schools' performance, as they have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.31% to 87.32%, compared to the state average of 49.1%. The district's spending per student varies, with Redford Union High School spending $27,066 per student, which is higher than the state average of $12,612 per student, while the other two schools have lower per-student spending. Overall, the data suggests that the Redford Union Schools District is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students, and a comprehensive review of the district's strategies, resource allocation, and support systems may be necessary to address the persistent underperformance across its high schools.
