Summary:
Mona Shores Public School District has only one middle school, Mona Shores Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The district is located in Michigan, but the school's academic performance is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.
Mona Shores Middle School's proficiency rates on the M-Step and PSAT exams are consistently lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 35.3% for 6th grade to 38.1% for 7th grade, compared to the state averages of 38.6% and 39.2%, respectively. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18.9% for 6th grade to 31.5% for 7th grade, significantly lower than the state averages of 31.5% and 33.3%. The school's performance on science and social studies assessments also lagged behind the state averages.
Additionally, Mona Shores Public School District has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.24% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite the higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains below the state averages, indicating that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The combination of academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges suggests that Mona Shores Middle School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population.
