Summary:
The Manistique Area Schools district in Michigan serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (including 1 alternative high school), and no middle schools. The district as a whole is ranked 362 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
The standout school in the district appears to be Manistique Middle and High School, which has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years but still maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has relatively strong test scores, particularly in science and social studies, and a higher 4-year graduation rate than the state average, though its dropout rate is slightly above the state average. In contrast, Emerald Elementary School appears to be the weaker performer in the district, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools and with test scores generally below the state and district averages.
The data also reveals some challenges facing the district, such as high chronic absenteeism rates at both Manistique Middle and High School and Emerald Elementary School, as well as significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools serving a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues may be key priorities for the district moving forward.
