Martin Public Schools

Summary:

The Martin Public Schools district in Michigan operates two schools: Martin High School, serving grades 6-12, and Robert D Brandon Elementary School, serving grades PK-5. The district faces challenges in providing consistent and equitable educational experiences across its schools.

Martin High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 260th out of 739 Michigan high schools in 2024-2025 to 404th out of 743 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, but its 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is relatively strong. In contrast, Robert D Brandon Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 702nd out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,124th out of 1,470 in 2022-2023. The elementary school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding the state average, while others fall significantly behind.

Both schools have a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with Martin High School at 52.44% and Robert D Brandon Elementary at 53.82%. This suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the district. Additionally, the district faces concerns regarding chronic absenteeism, with both schools reporting rates around 29.5%. The district should prioritize addressing these issues to ensure more consistent and equitable educational experiences for all students.
