Union City Community Schools

The Union City Community Schools district in Michigan consists of three schools: Union City Elementary School, Union City High School, and Union City Middle School. While the district faces some challenges, Union City Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the top 40% of Michigan middle schools.

Academically, Union City Middle School outperforms the other two schools, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Union City Elementary School and Union City High School both rank in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide and have lower 2-star ratings. The district as a whole struggles with low proficiency rates on state assessments, high chronic absenteeism, and relatively low graduation rates at the high school level.

While the district spends more per student than the state average, it also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the disparities in academic outcomes between the schools. Addressing these challenges and promoting equity across the district should be a priority for Union City Community Schools.
