Summary

AkronFairgrove JrSr High School is a small, rural public school in Fairgrove, MI, serving 181 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Akron-Fairgrove Schools district, where about 68.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has experienced a sharp decline in academic performance over the past few years. After a strong showing in the 2022-2023 school year, when it ranked in the 68th percentile statewide, the school has dropped to the 32nd percentile in the most recent data. Proficiency rates in core subjects are now well below state averages—for example, only 14.8% of 11th graders are proficient in Science compared to the state average of 35.2%, and SAT Reading/Writing proficiency sits at 33.3% versus 52.1% statewide. This downward trend is especially visible in the middle grades, where 7th-grade Math proficiency (20.8%) and ELA proficiency (25%) lag far behind state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with 32.2% of students missing significant school time, a rate notably higher than nearby schools like Garber High School (20.4%) and Reese High School (17.0%).

Despite these challenges, there are some bright spots. The school shows a relative strength in supporting its low-income students, who rank in the 54th percentile statewide—higher than the school's overall ranking. This suggests that while the school struggles broadly, its support for economically disadvantaged students is a point of effectiveness. However, the contrast with nearby UnionvilleSebewaing MiddleHigh School, located just 11 miles away, is stark—that school serves a wealthier population and outperforms AkronFairgrove in nearly every subject, with 8th-grade Math proficiency more than triple. Interestingly, AkronFairgrove spends more per student ($14,655) than higher-performing neighbors like Garber ($13,126) and Reese ($13,621), indicating that funding alone isn't the issue. The school is at a critical juncture, needing targeted interventions to reverse its recent decline and better prepare students for success.
