Summary:
The city of Twin Lake, Michigan is home to a single elementary school, Twin Lake School, which serves grades PK-4 and has a student population of 213. The school is part of the Reeths-Puffer Schools district, which is ranked 324 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Twin Lake School's academic performance shows some strengths and areas for improvement. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were above the district and state averages, but the 4th grade proficiency rates were below the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates have fluctuated over the past two years, with some improvements in 3rd grade but declines in 4th grade. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a high percentage of students (60.09%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population.
Despite these challenges, Twin Lake School appears to be investing resources to support student learning, with a per-student spending of $14,061 (above the state average) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.3. However, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be fully translating into improved outcomes for students. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address the areas of concern and help the school improve its performance.
