Summary:
The West Ottawa Public School District in Michigan is home to two high schools: West Ottawa High School Campus and Dunes Alternative High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Based on the available data, West Ottawa High School Campus emerges as the standout school in the district, with a higher statewide ranking of 189 out of 739 Michigan high schools and a 4-star rating. In contrast, Dunes Alternative High School has a lower ranking of 560 out of 832 Michigan high schools and a 2-star rating. Both schools maintain similar graduation and dropout rates, suggesting that the alternative school may be effectively supporting students who may have struggled in a traditional high school setting.
The data also reveals that West Ottawa High School Campus outperforms the district and state averages in most subject areas, including M-Step/Science, M-Step/Social Studies, SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT/Mathematics. However, the chronic absenteeism rate is high for both schools, indicating that attendance may be an area of concern for the district. Additionally, Dunes Alternative High School serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, as evidenced by its higher free and reduced lunch rate and higher spending per student.
