Summary:
The Manistee Area Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Thomas Jefferson Elementary and John F Kennedy Elementary) and 1 middle/high school (Manistee Middle High School). The district faces some systemic challenges, but also has a standout school in Manistee Middle High School.
Manistee Middle High School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking in the top third of Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and strong performance on certain academic measures, such as 11th grade SAT Math proficiency.
In contrast, Thomas Jefferson Elementary was once a top-performing elementary school in the state, but has since seen a significant decline in its ranking and now holds a 2-star rating, indicating average performance. The district as a whole faces challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, which likely contribute to the relatively average performance across the schools.
