Ewen-Trout Creek Consolidated School District

Nestled at 14312 Airport Road in Ewen, Michigan, the Ewen-Trout Creek Consolidated School District serves as a vital educational hub for its remote rural community in the Upper Peninsula. As an active, traditional public school district, it brings together its entire academic programming within a single centralized school facility. Serving children from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, the district offers a continuous educational pathway that supports local youth from early childhood development through high school graduation.

The district fosters a close-knit learning environment for a student body of 170 children, comprising 88 female and 82 male students across a range of cultural backgrounds, including American Indian, Hispanic, multiracial, and White students. Ewen-Trout Creek is well-supported by a total workforce of over 55 full-time equivalent staff members, including more than 30 full-time classroom teachers, dedicated instructional aides, and comprehensive support personnel. This strong staffing context yields an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of under six to one, offering parents, students, and researchers a compelling model of small-school education defined by individualized attention, strong mentorship, and deep community connections.
