Summary

Mayville Elementary School in Mayville, MI, is a small, rural school serving 248 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Mayville Community School District. The school has earned a 3-star rating and is showing real momentum, climbing from a 1-star rating in 2016-2017 to the 54th percentile statewide in 2025-2026. This is especially notable given that about 71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a rate well above the state average.

Where Mayville truly shines is in mathematics. In 4th grade, 66.7% of students scored proficient in math—a remarkable 27 points above the state average and the highest among all nearby schools, even surpassing the region's top performer, North Branch Elementary School (60.6%). The school also does exceptionally well with its low-income students, ranking in the 67th percentile statewide for this group. However, reading scores tell a different story. In 3rd grade, only 28.1% of students met ELA standards, compared to the state's 38.2%. By 5th grade, students nearly catch up to the state average, suggesting that while early literacy is a challenge, students do make progress over time. There is also a persistent gender gap, with boys outperforming girls by roughly 25 percentile points for three consecutive years.

The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism. At 32% in 2024-2025, Mayville's rate is the highest among all comparable schools in the area—more than double that of Marlette Elementary (12.8%) and Kingston Elementary School (17.1%). The school spends a generous $15,189 per student and maintains a low 15.5:1 student-teacher ratio, giving it strong structural advantages. If attendance improves and literacy gets targeted attention, Mayville has the resources and proven math strategies to close the gap with top regional schools like North Branch.
