Summary:
The Beaverton Schools district in Michigan has only one high school, Beaverton Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 435 students. The school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Beaverton Junior-Senior High School's test scores on the M-Step and SAT exams are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 7th grade ELA, the school scored 24.2% proficient or better compared to the state average of 37.9%. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 76.1%, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate was 8.9%, which is higher than the state average.
Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.8%, significantly higher than the state average, and 59.54% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school's spending per student for the 2022-2023 school year was $15,962, and it had a student-teacher ratio of 15.9 to 1. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the underlying challenges facing the school and its community.
