Summary

Mason Middle School in Mason, MI, serves 778 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Mason Public Schools (Ingham) district, which holds a 4-star rating.

Mason Middle School is a solid, above-average choice for families, consistently outperforming state proficiency averages in most subjects. For example, in 6th-grade math, 46.8% of Mason students were proficient compared to the state average of 31.9%, and the school nearly doubled the proficiency rate of nearby Eaton Rapids Middle School (10.4%). The school also shines in 8th-grade college readiness, with 72.4% of students scoring proficient on the PSAT ELA portion, well above the state average and ahead of Holt Junior High School (67.8%). While Mason ranks in the 74th percentile statewide—placing it in a strong "upper-middle tier"—it sits below elite neighbors like Williamston Middle School and Chippewa Middle School, both in the 93rd percentile or higher. One area of concern is 7th-grade ELA, where proficiency dropped to 35.4%, below the state average, though this appears to be a cohort-specific issue rather than a school-wide trend.

Parents will also appreciate Mason's improving attendance and efficient use of resources. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from a pandemic-era high of 37.6% to 24.6%, now better than the state average and several nearby schools like MacDonald Middle School (30.8%). The school achieves its results with per-pupil spending of about $13,800, which is lower than Washington Woods Middle School ($18,438) despite outperforming it academically. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14.7 and consistent 4-star ratings over the past decade, Mason Middle School offers a dependable, well-rounded education—though families seeking the very top academic tier in the region may want to compare it against its highest-performing neighbors.
