Summary

Marlette JrSr High School is a small, rural public school in Marlette, MI, serving 371 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Marlette Community Schools district.

For parents, the most important takeaway is that this school shows a clear split between strong literacy skills and significant challenges in math and science. In the most recent school year, 11th graders scored far below state averages on the SAT math portion, with only about 11% proficient compared to 26.5% statewide. This gap is even more striking when compared to nearby Kingston High School, where 38% of 11th graders were proficient in math. However, the picture is much brighter for reading and writing. Marlette's 9th and 10th graders scored at or near state averages on the PSAT English sections, and 11th graders were close to the state average on the SAT reading and writing portion. The school also has a notable strength in 8th-grade science, where proficiency exceeded the state average, though this advantage fades by high school.

Another key concern is a sharp decline in performance among students from low-income families. In 2023-2024, this group ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide, but by the most recent year, that ranking dropped to the 44th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is also higher at this school (24%) than in the district's lower grades (18.8%), though it remains better than the state average. On a positive note, the graduation rate (88.6%) and dropout rate (4.5%) are both better than Michigan's averages. While the school's overall state ranking has fluctuated over the years, its per-student spending of $13,692 is comparable to nearby schools like Peck JrSr High School and Brown City High School, suggesting that the math struggles are not due to a lack of funding but likely point to curriculum or instructional issues that parents may want to ask about.
