Summary:
The 49668 zip code is home to a single public high school, Mesick Consolidated JrSr High School, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 288 students. The school is part of the Mesick Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 342 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Mesick Consolidated JrSr High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 341 out of 739 Michigan high schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating) to 511 out of 743 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). The school's performance is particularly concerning in math, with only 16.7% of 6th graders and 21.7% of 7th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, at 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's underperformance, the per-student spending of $15,274 is above the state average. This suggests that the issue may not be solely related to funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources. The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 63.89% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
