Summary:
The Mesick Consolidated Schools district in Michigan has only one elementary school, Floyd M Jewett Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools over the past three years, with proficiency rates below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes compared to the state average, its academic performance remains below par. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.6% in 3rd grade ELA to 49.1% in 4th grade Math, while the state averages were 38.9% to 42.7% respectively. The school has also struggled with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
The data suggests that Floyd M Jewett Elementary School faces challenges in providing the necessary support and resources to help its students, who have a high proportion of economic disadvantage, achieve academic success at the same level as their peers statewide. Further investigation may be needed to identify the root causes of the school's struggles and develop targeted interventions to address them.
