Summary

Mid Peninsula School is a small K-12 school in Rock, MI, serving 220 students within the Mid Peninsula School District, a rural, single-building district where over 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school shows a clear split between its elementary and high school programs. The high school has notable strengths, especially in science—11th-grade proficiency has consistently beaten the state average (53.85% vs. 34.9% in 2024-2025). Ninth-grade English Language Arts and 11th-grade Social Studies also meet or exceed state levels. However, the elementary and middle grades struggle significantly, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at just 25% (state: 42.9%) and 8th-grade social studies at 20% (state: 50.3%). This foundational gap may help explain the school's most concerning trend: graduation rates have been extremely volatile, swinging from 100% (2020-2022) to a catastrophic 36.3% (2023-2024), then recovering to 66.6% (2024-2025). The dropout rate spiked to 22.2% in 2024-2025—three times the state average—after three years at zero. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has stayed below the state average despite high poverty levels, suggesting students are showing up even when facing economic hardship.

Compared to nearby TriTownship School, Mid Peninsula serves a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (75.45% vs. 45.68%), which helps contextualize some performance gaps. TriTownship generally posts stronger middle and high school results and has lower chronic absenteeism (17.0% vs. 26.3%), though Mid Peninsula spends less per student ($14,395 vs. $16,606). The Learning Center, part of the Delta-Schoolcraft Independent School District (Isd), is a specialized special education cooperative with per-student spending near $126,000—making direct comparisons meaningless. For parents, Mid Peninsula offers strong high school science instruction and good attendance, but the inconsistent elementary math scores and unpredictable graduation rates warrant a closer look at how the school supports students transitioning between grade levels.
