Summary:
Muskegon Montessori Academy for Environmental Change is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Muskegon Montessori Academy for Environmental Change district, located in Norton Shores, Michigan. With a diverse student population of 166 students, the school has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools and receiving a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Muskegon Montessori Academy for Environmental Change has consistently underperformed compared to state averages, with proficiency rates well below the norm across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%. The school's highest proficiency rate was 75% in 7th grade English Language Arts in 2022-2023, but this was still below the state average of 36.9%.
The school serves a diverse student population, with 56.02% White, 16.87% African American, 14.46% Hispanic, and 12.05% two or more races. However, 75.3% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school spends $10,091 per student, slightly above the state average, the high student-teacher ratio of 22.1 suggests that resources may not be optimally allocated to support effective instruction and personalized learning.
