Summary:
The 49738 zip code in Michigan has only one middle school, Grayling Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the Crawford AuSable Schools district. While the district is ranked 192 out of 613 in Michigan and has a 3-star rating, Grayling Middle School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is a concern and could be impacting student learning.
Despite the district's investment in the school, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and higher-than-average spending per student of $25,551, the academic outcomes have not significantly improved compared to the state. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 60.14% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which can present unique challenges that may require targeted support and resources.
Overall, the data suggests that Grayling Middle School is facing challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement, and the school and district may need to identify the root causes of these issues and implement targeted interventions to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
