Summary

Invest Roosevelt Alternative High School in Hazel Park, MI, serves 332 students in grades 9-12 as an alternative education option within the Hazel Park School District of the City, where about 76% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school faces significant challenges that parents should understand before enrolling their child. The graduation rate stands at just 51.6%, compared to 89.0% at the nearby traditional Hazel Park High School, located just over a mile away. The dropout rate of 25.8% is nearly four times higher than Hazel Park High School's 6.7% and well above the state average of 7.1%. Perhaps most striking is the student-teacher ratio of 123.8:1—meaning roughly one teacher for every 124 students—compared to 17.1:1 at Hazel Park High School. This suggests the school may rely heavily on computer-based, self-paced learning with minimal in-person instruction. Academic proficiency is also very low: only 4.35% of 10th graders were proficient in math, and just 10.1% were proficient in English Language Arts, far below district and state averages.

While Invest Roosevelt's graduation rate actually exceeds its district's overall average of 46.5%, this is misleading because the district figure is dragged down by Michigan Cyber Academy, which graduates only 15.2% of students. Chronic absenteeism affects 53.4% of Invest Roosevelt students—nearly double the state rate and far higher than the 6.2% rate at Tri County Educational Center, a similar alternative school in nearby Ferndale. The school's state ranking has declined steadily over the past decade, from the 17th percentile in 2014-2015 to the 1st percentile today. For parents considering this school, it's important to weigh whether the alternative model provides enough support, especially given the extremely high student-teacher ratio and the school's consistent underperformance across all student groups.
