Summary:
The Morrice Area Schools district in Michigan has only one elementary school, Morrice Area Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom third of Michigan elementary schools and has a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Morrice Area Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates in M-Step/ELA and M-Step/Math below the state averages across all grade levels. However, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates in M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies are on par with or slightly above the state averages. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, significantly higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as 55% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending is $11,005, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.3 to 1. While these metrics suggest the school is well-resourced, the academic and attendance challenges suggest that more targeted interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes for the students at Morrice Area Elementary School.
