Summary

Montague Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Mount Morris, Michigan, part of the Mt. Morris Consolidated Schools district. With 171 students, Montague Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montague Elementary faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a very high-poverty student population. On the 2024-2025 M-Step tests, only 24% of 4th graders and 19.6% of 5th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 42.4% and 44.4%. Math proficiency was even lower, at 15.6% for 4th grade and 10.8% for 5th grade, versus state averages of 39.4% and 32.9%. Chronic absenteeism rates at Montague Elementary range from 29.5% to 54.1%, much higher than the state average. The school serves a student population where 83-93% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Comparing Montague Elementary to nearby schools suggests these challenges are not unique to this school, but rather systemic issues within the Mt. Morris Consolidated Schools district. For example, other district schools like Pinehurst Early Elementary and Moore Elementary also perform poorly. In contrast, Clio Elementary, in a different district, achieves significantly better academic results. This suggests that district-level factors, such as leadership, resources, and policies, may play a major role in a school's performance.
