Summary

Manton Consolidated High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Manton, Michigan, with a total enrollment of 302 students. The school is part of the Manton Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 222 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests like M-Step and SAT, with only 16.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step Science compared to the state average of 34.9%, its performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years. In comparison, nearby schools like McBain High School and Kingsley Area High School have significantly outperformed Manton Consolidated High School on these academic measures. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 82-93% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.3% to 8.1% is higher than the state's average.

Another area of concern for Manton Consolidated High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 23.5% to 30.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the state's average. This challenge may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance and graduation rates. Furthermore, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 48.9% to 53.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is likely a factor in the school's overall performance.
