Q: Is Mosaic School a good school?

Mosaic School ranks 489 th of 743 Michigan high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mosaic School is a public high school located in Remus, Michigan, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 97 students. The school is part of the Chippewa Hills School District, which is ranked 238 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mosaic School faces significant challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of minority students compared to nearby Chippewa Hills High School, as well as struggling with low graduation rates (19.5% vs. 79.7%) and high dropout rates (43.9% vs. 9.5%). The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 63.5% of students chronically absent, more than double the rate of 24.3% at Chippewa Hills High School. Academically, Mosaic School's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 25% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 43.2% in the Chippewa Hills School District and 51.3% statewide.

The school's high-poverty population, with 87.63% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that Mosaic School faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student performance and outcomes. Additionally, the school's declining performance over time, as evidenced by its statewide ranking dropping from 652 out of 824 Michigan high schools in the 2017-2018 school year to 489 out of 743 in the 2023-2024 school year, indicates the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. In contrast, nearby Beal City High School and Lakeview High School perform significantly better, highlighting the potential for improvement at Mosaic School.

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.
