Summary

CarneyNadeau Public School is a small, rural K-12 school in Carney, MI, serving 217 students as the sole school within the Carney-Nadeau Public Schools district, with a favorable 11.8:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

The most striking feature of this school is its exceptional high school performance, which stands in stark contrast to its elementary and middle school results. The high school boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, far surpassing the state averages of 84% and 7.1%, respectively. This also outpaces nearby Uplift Michigan Academy, which has a 68.6% graduation rate. High school test scores are equally impressive: 11th graders achieve 75% proficiency in Science and 66.7% in Social Studies—more than double the state averages—and 10th graders hit 69.2% in ELA on the PSAT. However, grades 3-8 tell a different story, with test scores generally below state averages. For example, 7th-grade ELA and Math proficiency sit at just 22.2%, compared to state averages of 38.4% and 33.3%. This "middle school slump" followed by a dramatic high school surge suggests a highly effective high school program, though it also points to an opportunity to strengthen earlier grades.

Compared to its neighbors, CarneyNadeau is a clear leader at the high school level. It outperforms Stephenson Area Public School in graduation rate (100% vs. 96.3%), though Stephenson generally has stronger elementary scores. It also significantly outpaces Nah Tah Wahsh Public School Academy in chronic absenteeism (16.1% vs. 56.5%) and graduation rate. While the school spends $15,537 per student—less than Stephenson's $17,085—its high school results suggest that investment is paying off at that level. Chronic absenteeism has been steadily declining from a high of 44.4% in 2021-2022, which is a positive trend for this otherwise high-performing high school.

I love my school and if I were told I had to stop going there, whatever the reason, then my education would stop in whatever grade that I was in because I refuse to attend any other school than the school my family has attended all our lives. GO WOLES!!!!!!! Close Quote
