Mt Morris Middle School

Summary:

Mt Morris Middle School is a public middle school in Mount Morris, Michigan, serving 340 students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a shift in its racial demographics in recent years, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in African American and multiracial students.

One of the key challenges facing Mt Morris Middle School is its very high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 34.6% to 62.8% over the past few years - significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Marshall Greene Middle School (25.7%) and Clio Middle School (28.8%). The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is also well below state averages and the performance of nearby schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math less than half the state averages.

Mt Morris Middle School serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 83.82% to 90.16% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch - much higher than the rates at Marshall Greene Middle School (58.76%) and Clio Middle School (63.41%). Despite this, the school's per-student spending is relatively high, increasing from $10,982 in 2019-2020 to $14,257 in 2022-2023. These factors suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in addressing the needs of its diverse student population and improving student outcomes.

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.
