Summary:

Merrill Community Schools in Michigan has only one middle school, Merrill Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has been mixed, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and a ranking that has fluctuated between 539 out of 897 in 2023-2024 and 547 out of 890 in 2024-2025.

Academically, Merrill Middle School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies have consistently fallen below the state averages in Michigan. While the school's PSAT English Language Arts proficiency was above the state average, its PSAT Math proficiency was significantly lower. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in 2023-2024 was also much higher than the state average.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,342 in 2023-2024, which is above the state average, Merrill Middle School's academic performance and student outcomes suggest that the district may need to re-evaluate its educational strategies and interventions to better support student success. The school's high percentage of students (63.11%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch also indicates that it may face challenges related to socioeconomic factors that can impact learning.
