Summary:

Muir Middle School consistently ranks in the top 20-25% of Michigan middle schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in M-Step and PSAT assessments are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is relatively lower, with rankings in the middle to lower range compared to other Michigan middle schools. Muir Middle School's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby White Lake Middle School, but some schools in other districts, such as Millennium Middle School and Novi Middle School, outperform Muir Middle School in certain academic areas.

One area of concern for Muir Middle School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.1% in 2018-2019 to 19.7% in 2022-2023. This is an issue that the school and the Huron Valley Schools district should investigate and address. Additionally, Muir Middle School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (30.11% in 2022-2023), compared to some of the nearby schools.

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.
