Morley Stanwood Community Schools

The Morley Stanwood Community Schools district in Michigan consists of three schools: Morley Stanwood Elementary School, Morley Stanwood High School, and Morley Stanwood Middle School. The district faces several challenges, including low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student outcomes.

Across the three schools, there is a consistently high percentage of white students, ranging from 88.5% to 91.71%. However, the schools also have relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, with the high school reporting the highest rate at 30.2%. Academically, the schools consistently perform below the state averages in most subject areas, particularly in math and science. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is also high, ranging from 60.5% to 73.75%, indicating that the district may be facing socioeconomic challenges.

While the spending per student is relatively consistent across the schools, the student-teacher ratios vary, with the high school having the highest ratio at 21.8 and the elementary school having the lowest at 16.7. These factors, combined with the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, suggest that the Morley Stanwood Community Schools district may need to address issues of equity and access to quality education for all students.
