Summary:
The Bridgeport-Spaulding Community School District in Michigan has only one middle school, BridgeportSpaulding Middle SchoolSchrah, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Michigan middle schools over the past three years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance and student outcomes.
BridgeportSpaulding Middle SchoolSchrah has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American (69.59%) and Hispanic (14.52%) students. However, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with an extremely high percentage of students (96.71%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage among the student population is likely a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance, which is significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.
Another major concern is the school's extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.6%, which is more than double the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism is a significant barrier to student learning and academic success. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $14,186, the resources do not appear to be effectively targeted to address the specific needs of the student population and improve educational outcomes. Addressing these systemic challenges will require a comprehensive, equity-focused approach to ensure that all students in the Bridgeport-Spaulding Community School District have access to a high-quality education.
