Summary:
The Mt. Morris Consolidated Schools district in Michigan consists of 9 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district faces significant academic challenges, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a 4-year graduation rate slightly below the state average.
While the district as a whole struggles, a few schools stand out. The Mt Morris Education and Community Center, an alternative high school, has the highest test scores in science and social studies among the high schools, with 25% proficiency in both subjects. It also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a low dropout rate of 7.6%. Similarly, the Genesee County Juvenile Justice Center, an alternative school serving grades 4-12, has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a 7.6% dropout rate.
The district's challenges are further highlighted by its low ranking among Michigan schools (556 out of 613) and the lack of any 5-star schools. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district, ranging from 75% to 92.63%, indicate significant economic challenges faced by the community, which may be a contributing factor to the academic struggles and high chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to support the diverse needs of the district's students.
