Whitehall District Schools

The Whitehall District Schools in Michigan consist of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and faces both strengths and challenges in academic performance across its schools.

Among the standout schools, Whitehall Ealy Elementary School and Whitehall Middle School consistently outperform the district and state averages on M-Step assessments in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Whitehall Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and generally lags behind the district and state averages on M-Step and SAT assessments, with the exception of SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.

The district's alternative school, White Lake Area Community Education, faces unique challenges, serving a significantly higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds. However, the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate, suggesting its efforts to support its students. Across the district, high rates of chronic absenteeism are a concern and may be impacting academic performance, warranting further investigation and targeted interventions.
