North Huron School

North Huron School is an alternative public school located in Kinde, Michigan, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 300 students. The school is part of the North Huron School District and serves a student population with a relatively high percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a lower socioeconomic status.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,081 to $19,074 over the past few years, North Huron School has faced several challenges. Its four-year graduation rates have ranged from 81.7% to 82.8%, slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rates have fluctuated between 3.5% and 8.1%, higher than the state average. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.3% to 30.8%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, North Huron School's test scores on the M-Step and SAT/PSAT assessments are generally lower than the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, with projected proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math below the state averages for the 2024-2025 school year.

When compared to the nearby Caseville School K12 and Huron Learning Center, both of which also serve student populations with lower socioeconomic status, North Huron School appears to face similar challenges in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores. Addressing these concerns through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at North Huron School.
