Summary:
The Birch Run Area Schools district in Michigan has only one middle school, Marshall Greene Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 381 out of 890 Michigan middle schools in 2024-2025 to 458 out of 897 in 2023-2024.
Marshall Greene Middle School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates above the state average in some subject areas, such as 5th-grade Math and 5th and 8th-grade Science, but below the state average in others, particularly in 6th and 7th-grade Math and Social Studies. The school's PSAT performance also lags behind the state average, with only 60.4% of 8th-grade students proficient in ELA and 24.3% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 65.3% and 30.4%, respectively.
The school faces some demographic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (58.69% in 2023-2024) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in the same year. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending is above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 23:1 is also higher than the state average. These resources, however, do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes for the students.
