Durand Area High School

Summary:

Durand Area High School is a public high school serving 425 students in grades 9-12 in Durand, Michigan, which is part of the Corunna Public Schools district. The school has a strong academic performance, with consistently high graduation rates and relatively low dropout rates compared to nearby schools. However, it faces some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism and lower test scores than top-performing schools like Linden High School.

One of the most notable aspects of Durand Area High School is its racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.65%) compared to nearby schools. This suggests the school may not reflect the diversity of the surrounding community. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic need among its student population.

Despite these challenges, Durand Area High School has seen an increase in spending per student, from $10,849 in 2019-2020 to $14,112 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools. This investment in resources and support for students may be contributing to the school's strong graduation and low dropout rates, though there is still room for improvement in academic achievement to reach the levels of the top-performing nearby schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
