MUSKEGON RIVER YOUTH HOME

Muskegon River Youth Home is a public school that is part of the Mecosta-Osceola ISD school district, located in EVART, MI with about 74 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 12th Grade. With about 7 teachers, Muskegon River Youth Home has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **Muskegon River Youth Home (MRYH)**, located in Evart, Michigan, is a specialized residential treatment facility designed to provide a structured and therapeutic environment for youth who require behavioral and emotional support. Operated in partnership with the Mecosta-Osceola Intermediate School District (MOISD), the home functions as a secure setting that focuses on rehabilitating residents through a combination of intensive clinical services, life-skills training, and behavioral modification programs.

The facility’s educational component is central to its mission, ensuring that residents continue their academic progress while addressing their specific social and emotional challenges. By integrating accredited schooling with personalized treatment plans, the Muskegon River Youth Home aims to help young people develop the coping mechanisms, academic foundation, and self-discipline necessary to successfully reintegrate into their homes, schools, and communities upon completion of their stay.
