Manistee Middle High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 238 out of 739 Michigan high schools and outperforming the state average in several academic areas. In contrast, Michigan Great Lakes Virtual Academy lags behind on state assessments.

Across the schools, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%, indicating underlying issues that need to be addressed. The variation in per-student spending, from $11,597 at Casman Alternative Academy to $15,866 at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, suggests that resource allocation may be a factor in the observed academic performance differences.
