Summary

Twin Lake School is an elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Reeths-Puffer Schools district in Twin Lake, Michigan, with 213 students enrolled.

While Twin Lake School is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, it consistently outperforms the district and the state of Michigan in M-Step test scores for both English Language Arts and Math across grades 3 and 4. For example, in 2024-2025, 48.5% of 3rd graders at Twin Lake School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.2% for the district and 38.9% for the state. However, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.0% to 31.6% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Twin Lake School generally outperforms other Reeths-Puffer Schools such as Central Elementary and ReethsPuffer Elementary, but lags behind the higher-performing North Muskegon Elementary School, which is in a different district. The school's relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.77% to 60.09%, suggests it serves a disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its lower overall performance compared to the state average.
