Summary:

The city of Macomb, Michigan is home to 15 schools spanning 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school across three school districts: Chippewa Valley Schools, L'Anse Creuse Public Schools, and Utica Community Schools.

Among the standout schools in Macomb are Seneca Middle School and Iroquois Middle School, which rank in the top 25% of Michigan middle schools. These schools have consistently high performance on state assessments, with over 40% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, Sequoyah Elementary School and Beck Centennial Elementary School are among the top-performing elementary schools in the area, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts.

However, the data also reveals some concerning trends, such as a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across all schools, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, there are notable differences in spending per student, ranging from $12,358 at Seneca Middle School to $17,333 at Beck Centennial Elementary School, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation. These insights highlight both the strengths and challenges facing the schools in Macomb, Michigan, and provide valuable information for parents and policymakers to consider.
