Summary

St Johns Middle School in Saint Johns, MI, serves 584 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the highly rated St. Johns Public Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 80th percentile statewide.

This school has earned a 4-star rating for four consecutive years, reflecting consistent academic strength rather than a one-year fluke. Its most impressive results come in 8th-grade Science and Social Studies, where 66% and 72.6% of students are proficient, respectively—far exceeding state averages of 39.2% and 50.3%. In fact, St Johns outperforms most nearby schools in these subjects, with only DeWitt Middle School posting higher Social Studies scores. The school also shines in English Language Arts and Math, beating state averages at every grade level. For example, 7th-grade ELA proficiency sits at 58.4% versus the state's 38.4%. Perhaps most notably, St Johns excels at supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds—this subgroup ranks in the 88th percentile statewide, actually higher than the school's overall ranking. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism low at 12.3%, well below the state average of 27.9%, and has improved dramatically since the pandemic years.

St Johns achieves these results efficiently, spending $12,810 per student—less than several lower-performing nearby schools like Sheridan Road in Lansing, which spends $19,137 per student with proficiency rates in the single digits. However, the school faces challenges. Special Education students rank in the 35th percentile, a clear area needing targeted support. Additionally, 6th-grade ELA proficiency dips to 42.5%, notably lower than 7th-grade's 58.4%, suggesting a transition hurdle for incoming students. While St Johns outperforms Laingsburg Middle School and MacDonald Middle School in most subjects, it consistently trails DeWitt Middle School, a 5-star institution that serves as a benchmark for the next level of achievement.
