Grass Lake Community Schools

The Grass Lake Community Schools district consists of three schools: George Long Elementary School, Grass Lake High School, and Grass Lake Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is located in the community of Grass Lake, Michigan.

Grass Lake Middle School stands out for its strong performance on standardized tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average in several subjects, including 8th grade social studies and PSAT English Language Arts. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.5, which may contribute to its academic success. George Long Elementary School also performs well, with consistently strong test scores, particularly in 5th grade ELA and science.

While the Grass Lake schools generally perform at or above the state average on standardized tests, the district faces some challenges. All three schools have a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which may be impacting academic outcomes. Additionally, Grass Lake High School has a slightly lower 4-year graduation rate and a higher dropout rate compared to the state average. The district may also need to strengthen its math curriculum and support to better prepare students for college-level work, as indicated by the school's SAT scores.
