Summary:
The Mason County Central Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an early college high school). The district as a whole is ranked 467 out of 613 in Michigan and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Among the schools, Mason County Central Middle School appears to be the strongest performer, ranking 500 out of 890 Michigan middle schools and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and PSAT performance, are higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, the Academy of Science Math and Technology Early College High School, with only 55 students, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a low dropout rate of 7.6%, but its test scores lag behind the state averages, and it has a very high student-teacher ratio of 55:1.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the district/school scores and the state averages, particularly in core subject areas like math, science, and social studies. Additionally, the district faces challenges with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%. The wide range in spending per student, from $4,353 at the early college high school to over $14,000 at the middle school, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation within the district. Overall, addressing these performance gaps, chronic absenteeism, and resource disparities will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for all students in the Mason County Central Schools district.
