District-Level NCES Analysis

New Haven Community Schools operates 4 public schools serving 1,442 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Macomb County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,800 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 47.4% local, 43.6% state, and 9.0% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 18/100, ranked #703 of 707 in Michigan against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 314:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 32.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.8% White, 18.5% African American, 3.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is New Haven Elementary School, with a diversity index of 52.6/100.

Its largest campus is Endeavour Elementary and Middle School, enrolling 595 students (39% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Lake Huron Virtual Hybrid High School, at 170 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Endeavour Elementary and Middle School accounts for 38.7% of all New Haven Community Schools student enrollment

That dominant concentration means New Haven Community Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

New Haven Community Schools has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 54.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

New Haven Community Schools student-counselor ratio is 314:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within New Haven Community Schools is typically wider than the New Haven Community Schools-aggregate figure suggests.

New Haven Community Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 32.9% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
