Summary:
The Mount Clemens Community School District operates three schools: Seminole Academy (elementary), Mount Clemens High School, and Mount Clemens Middle School. The district is ranked 595 out of 613 districts in Michigan and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance compared to other districts in the state.
None of the schools in the district appear to be standouts, as all three are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics such as test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Proficiency rates on state assessments range from 6.9% to 32.6% across the different subjects and grade levels, well below the state averages. The high school has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8%, lower than the state average, and a dropout rate of 7.6%. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with all three schools reporting a rate of 29.5%, much higher than the state average.
Despite the poor academic performance, the district is spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $17,650 to $21,081 per student. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the need to explore ways to improve the return on investment in terms of student outcomes. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the district, ranging from 81% to 92.07%, suggest that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a contributing factor to the schools' challenges.
