Mar Lee School District

The Mar Lee School District in Michigan has only one school, Mar Lee School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average, while others struggle, particularly in Mathematics. Despite higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5 for the past three school years.

One of the key concerns at Mar Lee School is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.7%, which is higher than the state average. This may be contributing to the uneven academic performance across different grade levels and subject areas. While the school's English Language Arts and Social Studies proficiency rates are close to or above the state average in some grades, its Mathematics and Science performance is more variable, with some grades performing well and others falling behind.

Overall, the analysis of Mar Lee School suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement in addressing the factors contributing to the school's consistent low ranking and 2-star rating. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and identifying strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in Mathematics, could be important focus areas for the Mar Lee School District.
