Mason County Central Schools

The Mason County Central Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an early college high school). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with varying levels of academic performance and socioeconomic challenges across the schools.

The standout schools in the district are the Academy of Science Math and Technology Early College High School, which has an impressive 0% dropout rate and 91.3% four-year graduation rate, and the Mason County Central Upper Elementary, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio and relatively high proficiency rates in M-Step Math and Science. However, the Academy of Science Math and Technology Early College High School also has a concerning high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.9%, while the Mason County Central Upper Elementary's overall academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, is below the state averages.

Across the district, there are significant variations in school performance, with some schools outperforming the state averages in certain metrics, while others struggle with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges. Addressing these issues, particularly the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the need for targeted interventions for low-income students, could be key focus areas for the district to improve student outcomes and ensure more consistent academic success across all its schools.
