What Parents Should Know

At 118 students, Ypsilanti Stemm Middle College is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 6.9:1 students to teachers, Ypsilanti Stemm Middle College sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

31% of students at Ypsilanti Stemm Middle College were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average. Chronic absenteeism means missing 15 or more school days, and at high rates it drags on classroom pacing for everyone. Ask what the school does to help families get kids to class consistently.
