Summary:
The middle schools located in the city of Livonia, Michigan provide a diverse educational landscape, with 5 schools serving students in grades 5-8. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing institutions, with Holmes Middle School and Frost Middle School standing out as the top-ranked schools in the area, both earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
While the top-performing schools demonstrate strong academic achievement, with over 50% of 7th graders proficient in English Language Arts and Math, there are significant gaps in performance between these schools and the lower-performing institutions like Emerson Middle School and Clarenceville Middle School. These disparities appear to be linked to socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The data also reveals significant differences between the Livonia Public Schools district, which encompasses the majority of the schools in the data set and is ranked 84 out of 610 districts in Michigan, and the Clarenceville School District, which includes Clarenceville Middle School and is ranked 493 out of 610, suggesting that district-level support and resources play a crucial role in student outcomes.
