Summary:
The city of Mount Morris, Michigan is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with low academic performance, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism issues across the district.
Among the standout schools, Dailey Elementary School has the highest spending per student at $26,070 and the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 94.21%. Beecher High School also has high spending per student at $28,525 and the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 96.49%, but relatively low test scores. In contrast, the small Mt Morris Education and Community Center high school has the highest test scores in science and social studies among the high schools, despite a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%.
Overall, the schools in the Mt. Morris Consolidated Schools and Beecher Community School District face significant challenges, with the district's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a dropout rate of 7.6% both below the state average. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across all schools is a major concern and likely a key factor in the low test scores and graduation rates.
