Summary:

The city of Midland, Michigan is home to a diverse set of 20 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. These schools are spread across two main districts: Midland Public Schools and Bullock Creek School District.

Among the standout schools in the area, HH Dow High School consistently ranks among the top 30 high schools in Michigan, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts high proficiency rates in core subjects like science, social studies, and math, outperforming the district and state averages. Similarly, Siebert Elementary School and Woodcrest Elementary School are top-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 140 in the state with exceptional performance in math and English Language Arts.

While the district boasts several high-achieving schools, there are also areas of concern. The chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is 29.5%, which is a significant challenge. Additionally, there is wide variation in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 23.08% at HH Dow High School to 89% at Windover High School, suggesting disparities in the student populations served by these schools. The data also reveals differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, indicating that resources may not be evenly distributed across the district.
