Summary:
The city of Mayville, Michigan is home to two public schools - Mayville Middle High School (serving grades 6-12) and Mayville Elementary School (serving grades K-5). Both schools are part of the Mayville Community School District and face significant academic and socioeconomic challenges.
Mayville Middle High School has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Michigan high schools and receiving low 1-2 star ratings. Proficiency rates across different subjects and grade levels range from just 12-43%, well below state averages. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism (25.6%) and dropout (18.7%), as well as a low 4-year graduation rate of 71.8%. In contrast, Mayville Elementary School performs slightly better, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.6% to 57.4%, but still generally below state standards.
Both schools serve predominantly white student populations (over 92%) and have high percentages of students (66.1% at the high school and 78.31% at the elementary school) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the Mayville community. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the schools' academic struggles and attendance challenges. Addressing the systemic issues facing the Mayville Community School District will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for students in the area.
