Martin Public Schools

The Martin Public Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools: Martin High School and Robert D Brandon Elementary School. While both schools have relatively small enrollments, they face challenges in academic performance, attendance, and efficient use of resources.

Martin High School has a diverse student population but struggles with declining statewide rankings, low proficiency rates, and a high dropout rate. In contrast, Robert D Brandon Elementary School has a predominantly White student body and consistently low statewide rankings, with mixed academic performance and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 20.1%. Both schools spend more per student than the state average, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.

The data suggests that the Martin Public Schools district should prioritize addressing the root causes of these challenges, such as improving attendance, optimizing resource allocation, and developing targeted strategies to enhance academic performance across all grade levels. By addressing these issues, the district can work towards providing a high-quality education and ensuring the success of all students within the system.
