Summary:
The Mayville Community School District consists of two schools - Mayville Middle High School (serving grades 6-12) and Mayville Elementary School (serving grades K-5). Both schools have struggled academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages across various subjects and grade levels.
Mayville Middle High School has a small student population of 295 and has consistently received low ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking in the bottom half of Michigan high schools. The school faces high rates of chronic absenteeism (25.6%) and dropout (18.7%), which likely contribute to its poor academic performance. In contrast, Mayville Elementary School, with 272 students, has slightly better academic performance, but still falls below state averages.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population (over 92%) and a high percentage of students (66.1% at the high school and 78.31% at the elementary school) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The district appears to allocate similar levels of funding per student at both schools, but the academic performance gap suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies and interventions to drive meaningful change and improve student outcomes.
