Summary

MioAuSable High School serves 263 students in grades 6-12 in the rural community of Mio, Michigan, and is the only school within 20 miles, operating as part of the Mio-AuSable Schools district.

This small school faces significant challenges, most notably a chronic absenteeism crisis that has consistently exceeded state averages—37% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025 compared to 28% statewide. Academic performance has declined steadily from its peak in 2016-2018, with the school now holding a 2-star rating. Math proficiency lags dramatically across all grade levels; for example, only 11.4% of 10th graders were proficient in PSAT math versus 31.5% statewide. English Language Arts shows particular weakness in 6th grade, where just 7.89% of students met proficiency standards compared to 37.5% statewide. However, there are bright spots: 11th grade science performance has consistently exceeded state averages (39.3% vs. 35.2% in 2025-2026), and 8th grade reading scores have remained relatively strong. The school also boasts a 90.6% graduation rate that substantially exceeds the state's 84.0%, with a dropout rate less than half the state average—a notable achievement given the high poverty levels, with 55.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Parents should understand that the school's small size means results can swing dramatically from year to year based on individual class cohorts. The school has invested heavily in improving its student-teacher ratio to 14.4:1 and spends $15,104 per student, yet outcomes have not improved correspondingly. While the school struggles academically, it appears successful at keeping students engaged through graduation. With no nearby schools for comparison, families should consider that MioAuSable offers a close-knit environment where teachers know students well, but may need to advocate strongly for additional academic support, particularly in math and early middle school literacy. The path forward likely depends on addressing absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to reverse the downward academic trend.
