Summary:
Blissfield Community Schools in Michigan has one middle school, Blissfield Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has a relatively small enrollment of 242 students, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (88.43%) and a significant Hispanic population (9.5%). While the school has some strengths, such as a higher-than-average proficiency rate in 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts, it struggles in several areas compared to state averages, particularly in 7th grade Math proficiency.
Blissfield Middle School's academic performance is inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 308 out of 883 Michigan middle schools in 2022-2023 to 362 out of 776 in 2021-2022, indicating variable performance. Additionally, the school has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 37.6%, suggesting potential equity concerns that may be contributing to its academic challenges. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is also a concern and may be a factor in its inconsistent performance.
Overall, Blissfield Community Schools' middle school appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the state of Michigan, with some areas of strength and others that need improvement. The school's leadership and district may want to closely examine the factors contributing to the inconsistent academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate, and develop targeted strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
