Summary:
The Reed City Area Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools.
Reed City High School stands out as a relatively strong performer, ranking 251 out of 739 Michigan high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school has a solid 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and performs well on state assessments, particularly in Science and Social Studies. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district generally perform below the state averages on M-Step assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
Reed City Middle School also shows promise, ranking 369 out of 890 Michigan middle schools and outperforming the state average on several M-Step assessments, including Science and Social Studies. However, the district as a whole faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which may be contributing to the academic performance issues. Addressing attendance and leveraging the district's strengths in Science and Social Studies could be potential strategies for improvement.
