Summary

Munger ElementaryMiddle School is a public school located in Detroit, Michigan, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 933 students. The school is part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which is ranked 549 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Munger ElementaryMiddle School consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of Michigan elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.6% to 29.7% in English Language Arts and 9.3% to 22.5% in Math, compared to the state averages of 38.6% to 44.4% in ELA and 31.5% to 42.7% in Math. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 66.1% over the past few years, and a very high percentage of students (77.6% to 80.99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In comparison, the nearby McDonald Elementary School and Iris Becker Elementary School in the Dearborn City School District significantly outperform Munger ElementaryMiddle School on academic measures, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher in both English Language Arts and Math, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher per-student spending at Munger ElementaryMiddle School compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below state and district averages, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve student performance.
