Summary

KuehnHaven Middle School in Montrose, MI, serves 420 students in grades 4 through 8 and is part of the Montrose Community Schools district, a rural district that has earned a 2-star rating from the state.

KuehnHaven currently holds a 3-star rating, placing it in the 50th percentile statewide—a solid mid-pack performance that has been fairly consistent over the past decade. When compared to nearby schools, KuehnHaven significantly outperforms the struggling urban schools in Saginaw and Flint, such as Saginaw Middle School and Holmes STEM Middle School Academy, which rank in the bottom 10th percentile. However, it trails higher-performing suburban neighbors like EF Rittmueller Middle School (94th percentile) and Chesaning Middle School (74th percentile). One notable strength is English Language Arts, where proficiency rates are close to the state average—for example, 7th-grade ELA is only about 4 points behind the state. Math scores, however, lag by 5 to 10 points, a gap that has persisted for years and suggests a systemic challenge in math instruction.

KuehnHaven invests heavily in its students, spending $13,297 per pupil and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4—both better than higher-performing neighbors like EF Rittmueller ($11,972, 20.9 ratio) and Chesaning ($12,495, 17.1 ratio). Despite these resources, the school's academic results don't fully reflect that investment, pointing to an efficiency gap. Chronic absenteeism sits at 27.6%, nearly identical to the state average but much higher than EF Rittmueller's 14.9%. With 56% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, KuehnHaven faces real challenges, yet it has maintained a 3-star rating for most of the past decade—a testament to its stability compared to schools with similar demographics in nearby urban districts. Parents should know that while the school is a solid choice in the area, there is room for improvement, particularly in math and in serving all student subgroups equally well.
