Summary

Boyne City Middle School in Boyne City, MI, serves 378 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the Boyne City Public Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating statewide.

This school presents an interesting mix of strengths and challenges. On one hand, it shines brightly in science and social studies—8th-grade science proficiency hit 62.3% compared to the state average of 39.2%, and social studies reached 67.9% versus 50.3% statewide. The school also earns high marks for its special education support, ranking in the 90th percentile (5 stars) for that subgroup in a recent year. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 14.0%, less than half the state average of 27.9%, suggesting students feel engaged and connected. On the other hand, mathematics is a persistent weak spot. Math proficiency hovers near or below state averages, and the gap is especially visible on the 8th-grade PSAT, where only 29.2% of students scored proficient in math versus 33.2% statewide. This stands in stark contrast to nearby Harbor Springs Middle School (52.9%) and Petoskey Middle School (59.6%).

Compared to those two neighboring schools, Boyne City is the lowest-performing overall, ranking 216th in Michigan (76th percentile) versus Harbor Springs at 90th and Petoskey at 111th. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio (17.6) than both peers, and per-student spending ($15,133) trails Harbor Springs ($24,211) and Petoskey ($16,885). However, there's good news on the horizon: after a dip in rankings during 2023-2025, the school rebounded strongly in 2025-2026, jumping from the mid-60s to the 76th percentile. With its clear strengths in science, social studies, and special education, plus a positive recent trajectory, Boyne City Middle School offers a solid education—though families prioritizing advanced math instruction may want to explore how the school plans to close that gap.
