Summary

Mt Morris Middle School in Mount Morris, MI, is a small school serving 297 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Mt. Morris Consolidated Schools district, where over 81% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic proficiency at Mt Morris Middle School is significantly below state averages across all subjects. In the most recent school year, only about 10% of 6th and 7th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of roughly 38%. Math proficiency is even more concerning, with just 3.88% of 6th graders and 4.11% of 7th graders meeting state standards, versus a state average near 32%. These scores place the school in the 6th percentile statewide, making it the lowest-performing middle school in its immediate area. For context, nearby Clio Middle School (57th percentile) and Flushing Middle School (76th percentile) achieve dramatically higher results, while Bendle Middle School (9th percentile) and Bentley Middle School (11th percentile) also outperform Mt Morris despite serving similar communities.

One of the biggest challenges facing the school is chronic absenteeism. In the 2024-2025 school year, 51.2% of students were chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), nearly double the state average of 27.9%. While this rate has improved from a peak of 62.8% a few years ago, it remains a major barrier to learning. Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($16,740) than higher-performing neighbors like Clio ($14,650) and Flushing ($14,362), suggesting that additional funding alone hasn't solved the problem. There is one bright spot worth noting: 8th graders scored significantly higher on the PSAT ELA (36.4% proficient) than on state assessments, and the school shows notable success with certain student groups, ranking in the 58th percentile statewide for African American students. This suggests effective strategies exist within the building that could potentially be expanded to help all students succeed.

Open Quote My daughter has been with the district since 4th grade she’s now going into the 9th. The elementary was great. Middle school is terrible. Principal had no control over the building the environment is terrible most Teachers and staff are sorry. My daughter got multiple write ups and not one time was I told or made aware of them and neither was she. She’s school of choice and now she’s going into high school and can’t get accepted. I believe in mt heart they do this on purpose to ruin kids records. Why would you want a kid to misbehave? Why when I go to conferences not one teacher made me aware of what was going on, nothing on her report card, no notes sent home. When I discussed this with the principal she stated they don’t involve parents unless action is taken and she has minor violations. So how is a kid suppose to learn from behavior and how is a parent supposed to correct and discipline if no communication is not being done? They also pick and choose who they want to discipline and who they want to let slide. The vice principle is highly unprofessional and disrespectful. I actually heard her yelling and chewing kids out when she thought she hung the phone up and didn’t. I called her back and she was disrespectful and dismissive. Asking the kids if they are stupid? Yelling in a mean tone and threatening. Once I threatened to tell the superintendent then my kid got wrote up for having her phone out during class and suspended for 1 day a week before school was out. She’s evil and doesn’t need to be around anyone’s children. Make sure you are checking on your kids and communicating because they won’t. regardless if she has the I reports or not those were her actions but the teachers and staff are just as responsible to make kids accountable for actions and not communicating to the parents or the kids about discipline is irresponsible and ignorant. Because i guarantee had I known she would of not got one more right up again. Of a kid thinks they are getting away with something with no consequences they keep doing it. Because they don’t care. If she continues to get denied at schools I’ll be involving my lawyer. In my eyes if the write ups weren’t important enough to send to me and let me know then they should not be Important enough to send to potential schools. And their reviews are taken off and on Facebook. I wonder why! Close Quote
