Summary

High School is a public magnet high school located in Harrison Township, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,214 students. It is part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, which is ranked 275 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, High School's performance is generally below the state and district averages, with only 30.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science, compared to the state average of 34.9% and the district average of 28.1%. However, the school performs better in certain subject areas, such as SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, where 51.5% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 55.4% and the district average of 55.9%. Compared to nearby schools within the same district, High School's academic performance is generally on par or slightly below, with High School North outperforming High School in several subject areas.

High School has a diverse student population, with significant representation of African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial students. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 38.87% to 44.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is higher than the rates at some nearby schools, such as the DiAnne M Pellerin Center, which has a 73.55% rate of students from low-income families. Despite these challenges, High School's per-student spending has increased over the years, and the school's student-teacher ratio has improved, though it is still higher than some nearby schools.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, August 2, 2012

My children do good in school, mostly A's and B's. But feel the teachers put notes up on the board and expect them too study on there own. I like the school but think they need to take more time watching HOW the teachers teach. I spend a lot of the time reteaching my children. Close Quote
