Summary:
Corunna Public Schools has only one middle school, Corunna Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has shown steady improvement in its academic performance over the past three years, with its statewide ranking rising from 362nd out of 883 Michigan middle schools in 2022-2023 to 217th out of 890 in 2024-2025. However, the school's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math vary significantly across grade levels, with some grades performing above the state average and others below.
Corunna Middle School faces some challenges, including a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (58.65% in 2023-2024), which suggests the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in 2023-2024, which may indicate a need for additional support or interventions to address student engagement and attendance.
Despite these challenges, Corunna Public Schools appears to be allocating resources to support Corunna Middle School, as evidenced by the school's relatively high per-student spending ($14,685 in 2023-2024) and lower student-teacher ratio (18.8) compared to the state average. The district's focus on improving the school's academic performance is evident in the steady increase in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past three years.
