Summary:
The Mount Clemens Community School District in Michigan consists of 3 schools: Seminole Academy (elementary), Mount Clemens High School, and Mount Clemens Middle School. Unfortunately, the data indicates that the schools in this district are performing poorly across a variety of metrics, with no clear standout schools.
The student demographics at these schools are concerning, with high percentages of minority students (over 60% African American) and students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (over 89%). Academic performance is extremely low, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below state averages. For example, only 12.1% of 4th graders at Seminole Academy were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.3%. Chronic absenteeism rates are also very high, ranging from 65.3% to 69.6% across the district.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending in the district, ranging from $18,582 to $21,265, the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning. Overall, the data indicates that the Mount Clemens Community School District as a whole requires significant, systemic improvements to address the multitude of challenges it is facing and provide a high-quality education for all students.
