Mott Middle College High School

Q: Is Mott Middle College High School a good school?

Mott Middle College High School ranks 483 rd of 743 Michigan high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mott Middle College High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Flint, Michigan, with a student population of 332. The school is part of the Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools district, which is ranked 427 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mott Middle College High School faces significant challenges, including a declining four-year graduation rate (85.9% in 2022-2023, lower than the state average of 81.4%), a high dropout rate (12.2% in 2022-2023, higher than the state average of 8.1%), and a very high chronic absenteeism rate (63.6% in 2021-2022, much higher than the state average of 27.3%). The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the M-Step and SAT, is consistently lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in M-Step Science, compared to the state average of 37.5%. These issues are particularly pronounced among the school's predominantly African American student population, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying socioeconomic and educational disparities.

The school's proximity to the higher-performing Genesee Early College, which has a 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher test scores, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate, highlights the potential for improvement at Mott Middle College High School. However, the school's challenges may require a more comprehensive approach, including increased funding, targeted academic and social-emotional support, and community partnerships, to help improve outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
