Summary:
The 48858 zip code in Michigan is home to a single middle school, Mt Pleasant Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Mt. Pleasant City School District. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it demonstrates a mix of strengths and areas for improvement compared to state averages.
Mt Pleasant Middle School's statewide ranking has ranged from 299 out of 897 Michigan middle schools in 2023-2024 to 399 out of 883 in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT proficiency rates, is mixed, with the school performing below the state average in many subject areas, particularly in math, but exceeding the state average in some areas, such as 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Mt Pleasant Middle School benefits from higher-than-average spending per student ($16,198) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4, suggesting the district is investing resources into the school. However, these inputs have not yet translated to consistently strong academic outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may help the school enhance its performance and better serve its student population, which includes a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to the state average.
