Better than 13% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Dailey Elementary School in Mount Morris, MI, is a Pre-K through 7th grade school within the Beecher Community School District, serving 328 students in a high-need area where nearly all families (98.5%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Dailey stands out for its significant investment in students. The school spends about $21,800 per student—roughly $8,000 more than nearby schools like Linden Charter Academy ($13,255) or Moore Elementary School ($12,929)—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.4:1, compared to 21:1 or higher at several neighboring schools. This extra funding and smaller class size haven't yet translated into top test scores, though. The school's overall state ranking has hovered in the bottom 20% for a decade, currently sitting in the 13th percentile. There is a silver lining: after hitting a low point in the 2nd percentile in 2022-2023, the school has shown a general upward trend, reaching the 18th percentile in 2024-2025 before a slight dip. One notable bright spot is that Dailey's African American students performed in the 53rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025—far above the school's overall ranking—suggesting certain strategies are working well for this group.

The biggest challenge facing Dailey is chronic absenteeism. While the rate has improved dramatically from a peak of 80.4% in 2021-2022, it still sits at 56.6%—more than double the state average of 27.9% and higher than nearby Northridge Academy (28.6%) or Montague Elementary School (37.8%). This means many students simply aren't in class to benefit from the school's resources. For parents considering Dailey, the school offers strong per-student investment and smaller classes, but attendance remains the critical factor that families will need to prioritize to help their child succeed academically.
