Summary

Twin Rivers Elementary School in Muir, MI, is a small Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 183 students within the Ionia Public Schools district, where 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Twin Rivers is currently performing in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools, ranking in the 26th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This places it well below its same-district peers like AA Rather School (55th percentile) and RB Boyce Elementary School (39th percentile), and far behind nearby schools in other districts such as PewamoWestphalia Elementary School (76th percentile) and Waldron Elementary and Middle School (93rd percentile). The most striking concern is chronic absenteeism: at 27.0%, it is nearly double the rate at AA Rather (16.8%) and RB Boyce (13.4%), and far higher than Pewamo-Westphalia (11.5%) or Waldron (7.0%). This high absenteeism aligns with low proficiency rates—for example, only 27% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 37.8% at AA Rather and 56% at Pewamo-Westphalia.

Despite these challenges, there is a notable strength: Twin Rivers ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide for supporting its low-income students, which is significantly better than its overall 26th percentile ranking. This suggests the school’s targeted support for its most at-risk students is relatively effective. However, test scores are volatile across grade levels and years—4th grade ELA proficiency swung from 54.5% in 2023-2024 to 23.8% in 2025-2026—pointing to inconsistent instructional outcomes. The school also spends more per student ($14,029) than higher-performing AA Rather ($12,569) and RB Boyce ($12,432), yet this investment has not translated into stronger academic results. For parents, the clearest takeaway is that addressing chronic absenteeism would be a critical first step toward improving overall achievement at Twin Rivers.
