Summary

Twin Rivers Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Muir, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 192 students. The school is part of the Ionia Public Schools district, which is ranked 375 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Twin Rivers Elementary School faces several key challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 34.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Emerson School (29.5%) and AA Rather School (29.5%). Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally lower than the Ionia Public Schools district and the state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades all below the district and state averages in 2024-2025.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Twin Rivers Elementary School, with 71.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as AA Rather School (54.83%) and Westwood Elementary School (30.5%). Despite these challenges, the school's relatively small size and the district's overall rating suggest that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help raise academic achievement and student outcomes.
