Mason County Eastern Schools


Summary:

The Mason County Eastern Schools district in Michigan operates two schools - Mason County Eastern Elementary School and Mason County Eastern Junior High/High School. The district serves a predominantly white, low-income student population, with both schools having high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While the junior/high school has seen improvements in its statewide ranking, reaching a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, both schools continue to struggle academically, with test scores well below state averages. The elementary school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was just 23.08% compared to the state average of 43.3%. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, with over 34% of students at both schools chronically absent. The small student enrollments at each school may present challenges in terms of resource allocation and program offerings.

Despite these challenges, the junior/high school's 91.6% 4-year graduation rate is a bright spot, exceeding the state average. However, the district as a whole faces an uphill battle in improving academic performance and student engagement. Addressing attendance issues, allocating resources effectively, and continuing to build on the junior/high school's progress could be key priorities for the Mason County Eastern Schools district moving forward.
