Summary

GalesburgAugusta High School is a small public high school in Galesburg, MI, serving 263 students in grades 9-12 within the Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools district.

The most striking feature of this school is its exceptional graduation rate. At 96.6% for 2024-2025, it surpasses the state average (84.0%) and even edges out the nearby, much larger Gull Lake High School (95.0%). The school also reports a 0.0% dropout rate, a stark contrast to the state average of 7.1%. However, this success story is complicated by a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.6%—nearly 10 points above the state average and the highest among comparable traditional high schools in the area. This suggests that while the school is effective at helping students earn their diplomas, a significant portion of the student body is disengaged from daily attendance. The school also shows a notable strength in 11th-grade science, with 36.7% proficiency, exceeding the state average and outperforming nearby schools like Parchment High School (30%) and Comstock High School (20%).

Academically, there is a clear divide between subjects. While 11th-grade reading and writing proficiency (48.3%) is close to the state average (52.1%), math is a significant weakness. Only 13.3% of 11th graders are proficient in SAT math, roughly half the state average (26.5%), and this trend persists across all grade levels. This is a stark contrast to Gull Lake High School, where SAT math proficiency is 42.7%. The school's overall state ranking has been volatile, currently sitting in the 47th percentile. It spends a substantial $17,818 per student—more than higher-performing neighbors like Gull Lake ($16,374)—which raises questions about resource allocation, though this spending may be directed toward the support systems that contribute to its high graduation and low dropout rates. For parents, this school offers a strong guarantee of graduation but presents challenges in math achievement and daily attendance that warrant careful consideration.
