Mt. Clemens Montessori Academy is a high-performing institution, with its students significantly outperforming the state averages on M-STEP tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas.

The school's student population is relatively diverse, with 60.97% white, 29% African American, and a mix of other racial and ethnic groups represented.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 28.9% may be an area of concern that the administration could address to further improve student learning and achievement.
