The Michigan Department of Education has identified ten schools in Lansing that currently rank among the lowest-performing institutions in the state. This designation is part of a systematic evaluation conducted every three years, which highlights schools that fall within the bottom 5% of educational facilities across Michigan.

Local education officials and community leaders are actively working to implement strategies aimed at improving student outcomes and overall school performance. Initiatives may include enhanced teacher training, increased funding for resources, and the introduction of innovative educational programs tailored to meet the needs of students.
As these efforts take shape, stakeholders hope to see significant improvements in the academic environment, ultimately leading to better opportunities for students in Lansing.
