Vestaburg Community Schools

The Vestaburg Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 3 high schools (2 of which are alternative high schools), and no middle schools. The district as a whole is ranked 479 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

The standout school in the district appears to be Vestaburg Community Elementary School, which has relatively high proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math, particularly in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The school also performs well in M-Step/Science for 5th grade and has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the high schools. The alternative high schools, Vestaburg Community Alternative Education School Wyoming and Vestaburg Community Alternative Education School Vestaburg, have relatively high 4-year graduation rates despite higher dropout rates, and serve a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch.

However, the district as a whole faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, generally lower academic performance compared to state averages in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, and SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and particularly low SAT/Mathematics proficiency rates. Addressing these issues, particularly at the secondary level, could be crucial for improving the overall performance of the Vestaburg Community Schools district.
