Summary:
Buchanan Community Schools in Michigan has one standout middle school, Buchanan Middle School, which serves grades 5-7. This school consistently outperforms the state average on academic assessments and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, placing it in the top 15% of middle schools in Michigan.
Buchanan Middle School's student population is predominantly White (84%), with a significant percentage (51%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a sizable economically disadvantaged population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is slightly higher than the national average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 24.3% is also higher than the state average, which may be an area of concern that warrants further investigation.
Overall, Buchanan Community Schools can be proud of the academic excellence demonstrated by Buchanan Middle School. However, the district may benefit from exploring ways to address the chronic absenteeism rate and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic or racial/ethnic background.
