Iron Mountain Public Schools

The Iron Mountain Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 1 high school, 2 middle schools, 1 elementary school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the district, with standout schools like North Elementary School and Central Middle School leading the way in academic achievement.

While Iron Mountain High School boasts an impressive 96.6% 4-year graduation rate, the district's alternative school, IMK Community Education, struggles with a dismal 15.9% graduation rate and an alarmingly high 45.4% dropout rate. This stark contrast highlights the challenges faced by alternative schools in serving a more vulnerable student population.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, ranging from 14.8% at the high school to 24.2% at Central Middle School. Additionally, the schools with higher percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, such as East Elementary School (67.86%) and IMK Community Education (76.6%), tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting a correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes that the district may need to address.
