Summary

Mt Clemens Montessori Academy is a public charter elementary school in Mount Clemens, MI, serving 278 students in grades PK-5 as a single-school district. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 71st percentile statewide, a significant improvement from its 2-star rating a few years ago.

Academically, this school consistently outperforms state averages in most subjects and grade levels. In the most recent testing year, students exceeded state proficiency rates in 7 of 8 tested areas. A standout is 5th grade Social Studies, where 42.4% of students are proficient compared to just 27.5% statewide. The school also shows exceptional effectiveness with African American students, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide. When compared to nearby schools within a 2.5-mile radius, the difference is striking—Seminole Academy ranks in the 4th percentile, Charles C McGlinnen School in the 20th, and Clinton Valley Elementary in the 24th. Even the strongest nearby performers, Cherokee Elementary (58th percentile) and Marie C Graham Elementary (48th percentile), trail this school's overall ranking.

One of the most notable advantages is cost-effectiveness. At $11,866 per student, the school spends significantly less than nearby schools while achieving superior outcomes—Marie C Graham Elementary spends $17,938 per student and Tenniswood Elementary spends $15,476, both with lower academic results. However, there are areas to watch. The school shows a gender gap, with female students ranking in the 72nd percentile versus males in the 44th. Math proficiency also declines as students advance, dropping from 48.9% in 3rd grade to 34.4% in 5th grade. Chronic absenteeism has been volatile, swinging from 60.9% to 28.7% in recent years, though the latest figure aligns with the state average. With a moderate poverty rate of 35.6%, this school demonstrates that effective educational models can succeed in the region.
