Summary:
The city of Mio, Michigan is home to two schools - MioAuSable High School and MioAuSable Elementary School, both part of the Mio-AuSable Schools district. While MioAuSable High School maintains a relatively strong 4-year graduation rate of 93.5%, it struggles with academic performance, ranking 300 out of 743 Michigan high schools. In contrast, the elementary school is ranked 1156 out of 1486 Michigan elementary schools and has significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages.
Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, with MioAuSable High School at 36.0% and MioAuSable Elementary School at 31.0%. This is a concerning trend that could be impacting student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the schools have a very homogeneous student population, with over 92% of students identifying as white, which may limit students' exposure to diverse perspectives.
While MioAuSable High School spends $14,907 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 20.9, the elementary school spends $16,259 per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.1. This higher per-student spending at the elementary level has not translated into improved academic performance, suggesting that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and focus on addressing the underlying issues that are hindering student success.
