Summary

Evart High School is a small, rural public high school in Evart, MI, serving 257 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Evart Public Schools district. The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, particularly with student attendance and retention, though it has shown some signs of improvement in its most recent state ranking.

The most pressing concern for families is the school's high rate of chronic absenteeism, which reached 41.5% in the 2024-2025 school year—nearly 1.5 times the state average of 27.9% and far above nearby schools like Pine River Area High School (15.5%). This attendance crisis is closely tied to a dropout rate of 14.6%, more than double the state average of 7.1%, and a graduation rate of 75.2% that trails the state's 84.0%. For comparison, Pine River Area High School boasts a 91.7% graduation rate and just a 1.3% dropout rate. The student body is largely economically disadvantaged, with 68% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch—a much higher percentage than in nearby districts like Big Rapids Public Schools (34.8%) or Reed City Area Public Schools (44.9%).

Academically, Evart trails state averages in most subjects, with the largest gaps in math and science. Only 21.2% of 10th graders were proficient in math on the PSAT, compared to the state's 31.5%, and 11th-grade science proficiency was 15.7% versus the state's 35.2%. However, the school shows a relative strength in English Language Arts, where 10th-grade proficiency (59.6%) actually exceeds the state average (58%). There are also promising signs: the school's work with its low-income students ranked in the 46th percentile statewide, and its overall state ranking improved from the 21st to the 41st percentile in the most recent year. Still, test scores fluctuate dramatically year to year, making it difficult to gauge the effectiveness of academic programs. Families considering this school should weigh its supportive approach for disadvantaged students against the persistent attendance and retention challenges that remain the biggest obstacles to student success.
