Summary

Inland Lakes Secondary School is a public high school located in Indian River, Michigan, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 338 students. The school is part of the Inland Lakes Schools district, which is ranked 426 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Inland Lakes Secondary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan high schools, ranging from 292nd to 568th out of 561-852 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Michigan high schools. While female students have generally performed better than male students, white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have performed relatively poorly, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Michigan high schools. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 81.7% and 97.6%, with the most recent rate being 82.8%, and the dropout rate has also varied, ranging from 2.3% to 8.1%, with the most recent rate being 7.6%. Additionally, Inland Lakes Secondary School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.6% to 30.8% in recent years, with the most recent rate being 29.5%.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Harbor Springs High School and Petoskey High School, which are ranked much higher and have significantly better academic performance, Inland Lakes Secondary School performs relatively poorly. However, the school outperforms some nearby schools, such as Inverness Academy and Wolverine Middle/High School, which have even lower rankings and proficiency rates. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (over 60%) at Inland Lakes Secondary School suggests a significant population of students from low-income backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic performance.
