Summary:
Menominee Area Public Schools has only one middle school, Menominee Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been consistently below the state average in Michigan, with low statewide rankings and proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Math.
Menominee Junior High School has a high rate of chronic absenteeism, with 29.5% of students missing a significant number of school days in the 2023-2024 school year. This is a concerning statistic, as chronic absenteeism can have a significant impact on student learning and academic achievement. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the past three school years, from 572nd in 2023-2024 to 494th in 2024-2025, indicating that its performance may be worsening relative to other middle schools in the state.
Despite the school's low performance, its per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are in line with the state averages for Menominee Area Public Schools. This suggests that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of resources, but rather a need to address other factors that are impacting student learning and academic success.
