Summary

Engadine Schools is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Engadine, Michigan, with 252 students and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school faces significant challenges, including variable graduation rates, high dropout rates, and very high chronic absenteeism rates that are much higher than the state average.

Engadine Schools consistently underperforms the state averages on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from around 17% to 47% compared to the state averages of 30% to 47%. The nearby Newberry Area School, another alternative public school, shows similar challenges, suggesting that the issues faced by Engadine Schools may be more systemic to the region and the alternative school model.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from around $12,000 to $16,000 in recent years, Engadine Schools has not seen improved academic performance, indicating that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning. Addressing the challenges with student engagement and retention, as evidenced by the high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, will be a critical focus for the school and the Engadine Consolidated Schools district.
