Summary:
Munising Public Schools operates a single high school, Munising High and Middle School, which serves grades 6-12 and has 312 students. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 166 out of 743 schools in 2023-2024 to 552 out of 735 schools in 2022-2023. While the school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is lower than the state average, its dropout rate of 7.6% and chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% are significantly higher than the state averages.
Academically, Munising High and Middle School's test scores on assessments like M-Step, SAT, and PSAT are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions. For example, the school's 11th-grade SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing proficiency rate of 41% is slightly below the state average of 55.4%. The school's per-student spending of $14,792 is higher than the state average, but this has not translated into consistently strong academic performance.
The data suggests that Munising High and Middle School, which is part of the Munising Public Schools district, faces several challenges, including inconsistent performance, lower-than-average test scores, high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout, and a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the 50.96% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's higher per-student spending may indicate a commitment to supporting its students, more work is needed to improve academic outcomes and ensure the school is effectively serving its community.
