Summary

Manton Consolidated Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Manton, Michigan, with 305 students. The school is part of the Manton Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 222 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has seen increased spending per student, from $10,345 in 2020-2021 to $13,719 in 2023-2024, it faces significant challenges. Manton Consolidated Middle School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.5% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in math and social studies. For example, in 2024-2025, only 35.1% of 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 32.9%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.5% to 57.38% over the past few years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Kingsley Area Middle School, which is about 14 miles away, Manton Consolidated Middle School generally performs worse on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school appears to be doing well in supporting its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking 161 out of 832 Michigan middle schools in 2024-2025. The school's fluctuating ranking and inconsistent performance over the years suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement, and the school should focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of its challenges.
