Summary

Grand Ledge High School is a public high school serving 1,683 students in grades 9-12 in Grand Ledge, Michigan, which is part of the Grand Ledge Public Schools district. The school consistently performs above the state average in academic assessments, with 41.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science compared to the state average of 34.9%, and 70.2% proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing compared to the state average of 55.4%. Grand Ledge High School maintains a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 81.7% to 93.3% over the past few years, which is generally on par with or above the state average.

While Grand Ledge High School excels in its performance for African American students, ranking 13th out of 192 Michigan high schools in this category, it struggles with its Hispanic and multi-racial student populations, ranking 138th and 114th, respectively. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps. Additionally, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.5% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Grand Ledge High School generally outperforms the Lansing Learning Hub and JW Sexton High School, which are part of the lower-performing Lansing Public School District, but lags behind the highly-ranked DeWitt High School in terms of academic performance and overall school ranking.

Grand Ledge High School's spending per student has ranged from $9,836 to $11,880 over the past few years, which is generally in line with the state average, suggesting that the school is allocating resources effectively to support student learning and achievement. Overall, Grand Ledge High School is a strong-performing school within the state of Michigan, with particular strengths in academic performance and graduation rates, but it also faces challenges in addressing subgroup performance disparities and high chronic absenteeism rates, which may require targeted interventions and support to improve.
