Summary:
Munising Public Schools has only one elementary school, William G Mather Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. Located in the small city of Munising, Michigan, the school's performance has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 535th out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 777th out of 1,488 in 2024-2025.
William G Mather Elementary School's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with strengths in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and 5th grade Science, but weaknesses in 3rd grade ELA and all three grades of Math. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (56.2% in 2023-2024), which may impact its academic performance and resource needs. However, the school has access to significant resources, with a per-student spending of $18,400 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1 for the 2023-2024 school year.
Overall, the analysis of Munising Public Schools' sole elementary school suggests that it is facing some challenges, particularly in terms of its declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and access to significant resources indicate that there may be opportunities to improve student outcomes through targeted interventions and effective resource allocation.
