Mendon Community School District

The Mendon Community School District consists of two schools - Mendon MiddleHigh School serving grades 6-12 and Mendon Elementary School serving grades PK-5. While Mendon MiddleHigh School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.1%, both schools exhibit consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Michigan state average, particularly in math and English language arts.

Mendon Elementary School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 64.89%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to state averages. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at Mendon Elementary School ($13,397) compared to Mendon MiddleHigh School ($12,104) may suggest a resource allocation imbalance, with more resources directed towards the elementary school level.

Overall, the data suggests that the Mendon Community School District faces significant challenges in academic achievement, with both Mendon MiddleHigh School and Mendon Elementary School performing well below state averages on standardized assessments. Addressing these performance gaps, particularly in light of the relatively high graduation rate and economic disadvantage at the elementary school, should be a priority for the district.
