Summary

Mason Middle School in Erie, MI, serves 223 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly rated Mason Consolidated Schools (Monroe) district, which holds a 4-star statewide rating.

This school is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 16% of Michigan middle schools. Its most remarkable strength is how well it supports students from low socio-economic backgrounds—these students rank in the 97th percentile statewide, earning a 5-star rating. That means Mason is exceptionally effective at helping all students succeed, regardless of economic challenges. Academically, the school shines brightest in English Language Arts (ELA). In 6th and 7th grades, proficiency rates hover around 55-57%, compared to state averages near 38%. That's a nearly 20-point advantage. Even 8th-grade PSAT ELA scores (75% proficient) outpace the state by 10 points. Math and science are also strong, with proficiency rates roughly 15 points above state averages. When compared to nearby schools, Mason's 6th-grade ELA scores (56.9%) beat both Ida Middle School (54.3%) and Bedford Junior High School (43.1%). The contrast is even starker with Monroe Middle School, where 7th-grade ELA proficiency is just 25.5%—less than half of Mason's rate.

One area parents should note is chronic absenteeism. While it has improved from 39.6% to 23.4% over recent years, it remains higher than nearby high-achieving schools like Ida (6.9%) and Bedford (8.3%). This suggests that while the school delivers excellent results for students who attend regularly, getting every child to school consistently is a challenge. Additionally, the school's spending is efficient—at $15,382 per student, it spends less than Blissfield Middle School ($17,306) and Monroe Middle School ($17,317), yet achieves far better outcomes. Social studies scores have been volatile (ranging from 30% to 61% over three years), which may be worth investigating, but overall, Mason Middle School offers a top-tier, well-rounded education with a particular gift for literacy instruction.
