Summary

Durant Tuuri Mott School is an elementary school in Flint School District serving 415 students in grades PK-6. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade, with very low academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

Durant Tuuri Mott School struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 76.7% to 80.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are consistently below 20%, often less than half the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.3% of 5th-grade students were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 90.6% to 96.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Durant Tuuri Mott to other schools in the Flint School District, the challenges appear to be systemic, as the nearby Freeman School, Neithercut Elementary School, and others exhibit similar patterns of low performance and high poverty levels. However, when comparing Durant Tuuri Mott to schools outside the district, such as Greater Heights Academy and Michael Hamady Elementary School, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced, suggesting the Flint schools face unique challenges that may require targeted interventions and support.
