Maple Valley JrSr High School

Summary:

Maple Valley JrSr High School is a public magnet high school serving grades 7-12 in Vermontville, Michigan, with a student population of 385. The school is part of the Maple Valley Schools district, which is ranked 457 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Valley JrSr High School faces several challenges, including a lack of racial diversity (over 92% of students are white), declining statewide rankings (from 150th out of 561 Michigan high schools in 2020-2021 to 445th out of 743 in 2023-2024), and uneven performance across student subgroups. Female students have generally ranked higher than male students, and white students and low-socioeconomic status students have the lowest rankings compared to their peers. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 74.5% to 90.6% in recent years, with a current rate of 89.0%, and the dropout rate has fluctuated between 4.7% and 8.7%, with the current rate at 5.4%. Additionally, Maple Valley JrSr High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 27.1% in 2018-2019 to 33.9% in the current school year.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Grand Ledge High School and Hastings High School, Maple Valley JrSr High School's performance is generally lower, with lower statewide rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency levels. Within the same district, the small magnet high school Maple Valley Pathways High School has even more concerning metrics, including a 46.6% four-year graduation rate and a 40.0% dropout rate. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (over 55% in recent years) at Maple Valley JrSr High School may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant predictor of student achievement.

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.
