Summary

Insight School of Michigan is a public charter virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Lansing, Michigan, with 678 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools over the past several years, with its highest ranking being 510 out of 561 schools in the 2020-2021 school year.

Insight School of Michigan faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 11.5% of 11th graders were proficient or better in science, 10.4% in social studies, and 18.1% in evidence-based reading and writing, compared to state averages of 34.9%, 42.1%, and 55.4% respectively. The school has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 41.5% to 82.8% over the past few years, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 77.3% in recent years, far exceeding the state average.
