Summary:
The city of Pierson, Michigan has only one public elementary school, Tri County Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 392 students. While the school's academic performance is mixed compared to state and district averages, it stands out for its relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, as well as its challenges with chronic absenteeism.
Tri County Elementary School's student population is predominantly White (88.78%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, Native American, Asian, and African American students. The school's proficiency rates on M-Step tests vary across grade levels and subject areas, with strengths in 3rd-grade Math and 5th-grade Science, but weaknesses in 4th and 5th-grade Math and 5th-grade Social Studies. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5% is higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
Tri County Elementary School is part of the Tri County Area Schools district, which is ranked 372 out of 610 districts in Michigan and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's own statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 716 out of 1,344 Michigan elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 736 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024, suggesting room for improvement in student outcomes.
