Mar Lee School District

Summary:

The Mar Lee School District in Michigan consists of a single elementary school, Mar Lee School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some subject areas exceeding the state average and others lagging behind, it appears to be facing some significant challenges, including a high rate of chronic absenteeism and a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families.

Mar Lee School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 762 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 836 out of 1,470 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on the M-Step and PSAT tests is uneven, with 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency exceeding the state average but 7th-grade Math proficiency falling short. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the state average, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Despite these challenges, Mar Lee School appears to be investing in its students, with a student-teacher ratio slightly lower than the state average and per-student spending that exceeds the state average. By addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and targeting areas of academic weakness, the school may be able to improve its overall performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
