Summary

Quest High School is a public high school located in North Branch, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 64 students. The school is part of the North Branch Area Schools district, which is ranked 268 out of 606 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quest High School has consistently struggled across a range of metrics, particularly in comparison to the nearby North Branch High School. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.5%) compared to the surrounding schools, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Quest High School's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 57.6% to 66.6% over the past five years, much lower than the 96.5% rate at North Branch High School. Additionally, the school has high dropout rates, ranging from 10% to 19.2%, and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 46.9% to 54.7%, significantly higher than the 23.4% rate at North Branch High School.

The data also reveals that Quest High School students perform significantly worse on state assessments compared to the North Branch Area Schools district and the state of Michigan. For example, in 2022-2023, only 15.79% of Quest High School's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in M-Step Science, compared to 36.6% for the district and 39% for the state. Additionally, Quest High School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.74% to 76.56% over the past three years, much higher than the 48.07% rate at North Branch High School. These findings suggest that Quest High School may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population that is struggling to achieve academic success, potentially due to a lack of resources or effective interventions.
