Summary

Mason Central School in Erie, MI, is an elementary school serving 421 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly rated Mason Consolidated Schools (Monroe) district, which holds a 4-star rating statewide.

Mason Central stands out for its exceptional results with specific student groups. In the most recent school year, the school ranked in the 95th percentile statewide for Hispanic students, earning a 5-star rating—a level of success not seen in any nearby school. The school also shows a strong commitment to supporting students from lower-income backgrounds, ranking in the 91st percentile for low socio-economic status students the previous year. This effectiveness in closing achievement gaps is particularly notable when compared to schools in the neighboring Monroe Public Schools district, where performance is significantly lower. For example, 4th-grade ELA proficiency at Mason Central (61.2%) is nearly triple that of Hollywood Elementary (10%). While Mason Central holds its own against top performers in the Bedford Public Schools and Ida Public School District, it is not always the absolute leader—for instance, in 5th-grade math, it trails Jackman Road Elementary School and Monroe Road Elementary School.

Parents should be aware of a few areas to watch. The school saw a notable dip in 3rd-grade ELA proficiency, dropping to 32.8% from 55.9% the prior year—a significant decline that may warrant attention. Chronic absenteeism is also a persistent challenge at 25.7%, nearly five times higher than at Douglas Road Elementary School (5.1%). On the positive side, Mason Central spends $15,176 per student, which is higher than nearby high-performing districts, and this investment appears to translate into strong results—particularly in 5th-grade science and social studies, where proficiency rates dramatically exceed state averages. The school also demonstrates strong efficiency compared to Custer Elementary School, which spends more per student yet achieves lower performance.
