Summary:
The city of Marine City, Michigan is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Marine City High School, Belle River Elementary School, and Marine City Middle School. These schools are part of the East China School District.
Among the standout schools, Marine City High School ranks 241 out of 743 Michigan high schools and has a 3-star rating, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and strong performance in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. Belle River Elementary School also stands out, with its students outperforming district and state averages on M-Step English Language Arts and Math tests, as well as in M-Step Science.
However, the data also reveals some areas of concern, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, and varying academic performance between the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The higher free/reduced lunch rates at the elementary and middle schools may be contributing to their lower academic performance compared to the high school, which also has higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio. Overall, the schools in Marine City demonstrate a mix of strengths and challenges, with opportunities for improvement to support student success across all grade levels.
