Mary McGuire School

Summary:

Mary McGuire School is an elementary school located in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 273. The school is part of the Mt. Pleasant City School District, which is ranked 276 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mary McGuire School has a higher percentage of Native American students (8.79%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 0% to 6.73%, the school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.1% in 2020-2021 to 26.8% in 2022-2023. This is notably higher than the nearby Fancher School and Ganiard School, which range from 16.9% to 29.6% chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Mary McGuire School consistently underperforms compared to the Mt. Pleasant City School District and the state of Michigan in M-Step test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with its student group rankings in the bottom quartile of Michigan elementary schools.

The analysis of Mary McGuire School reveals several areas of concern, including its declining statewide ranking, from 980 out of 1,580 Michigan elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,212 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. This downward trend is concerning and suggests the need for targeted interventions to improve the school's performance. Furthermore, Mary McGuire School has a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (70.33%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 34.82% to 68.5%. This high poverty rate likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and may require additional resources and support to address the needs of its student population.

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.
