Summary:
Zip code 48040 is home to a single middle school, Marysville Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 603 students in the Marysville, Michigan area. This school is part of the Marysville Public Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 84th percentile statewide.
Marysville Middle School demonstrates a clear academic strength in mathematics, consistently outperforming state averages by 14 to 20 percentage points across all tested grades and years. For example, in the most recent data, 46.6% of 6th graders and 47.7% of 7th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages of 31.9% and 33.3%, respectively. The school also showed exceptional performance on the 8th-grade PSAT English Language Arts exam in the prior year, with 83.9% proficiency versus the state’s 65.3%. However, this strength did not carry over to the M-Step ELA tests, where scores hover near or slightly below state averages. In the latest year, 7th-grade ELA proficiency was 33.5%, nearly five points below the state’s 38.4%. This contrast suggests math instruction is a standout area, while reading and writing may need more focus.
A notable concern is the significant year-over-year decline in 8th-grade scores. Science proficiency dropped from 52.8% to 35.0%, social studies fell from 56.0% to 46.3%, and PSAT ELA dropped from 83.9% to 68.3%. This decline likely contributed to the school’s state ranking slipping from the 82nd percentile (rank 162) to the 70th percentile (rank 265) in the latest year. Additionally, chronic absenteeism affects 21.9% of students—higher than the district’s 18.6% but better than the state’s 27.9%. With per-student spending at $11,987, the school invests relatively heavily, yet recent results in ELA and science do not fully reflect that investment. For parents, this school offers strong math outcomes but shows volatility in other subjects, making it worth monitoring future performance trends.
