St. Johns Public Schools

Summary:

The St. Johns Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 virtual high school. The district as a whole is ranked 100 out of 613 districts in Michigan and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong performance. Oakview Elementary School and Riley Elementary School consistently rank in the top 30% and 25% of Michigan elementary schools, respectively, with higher test scores than the district and state averages. At the high school level, St. Johns High School ranks in the top 20% of Michigan high schools, with particularly strong performance in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT.

However, the district also faces some challenges. The chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is significantly higher than the state average at 29.5%. Additionally, the district's virtual high school, STRIVE Academy, has a lower ranking and performance compared to the traditional high school. The wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 25.99% at St. Johns High School to 72.34% at STRIVE Academy, suggests significant socioeconomic diversity within the district, which may impact the needs and challenges faced by different schools.
