Middle Schools in Chesaning Union Schools

Chesaning Union Schools operates a single middle school, Chesaning Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8 in the Chesaning, Michigan area. This middle school stands out as a relatively strong-performing institution, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Michigan middle schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chesaning Middle School outperforms the state averages on several key academic metrics, including proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. This is particularly notable given that over 55% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-need population. However, the school's student population is predominantly White (91.38%), with low representation of other racial and ethnic groups, which may be an area for the district to address.

While Chesaning Middle School demonstrates strong academic performance, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.5% is higher than the state average, which could be impacting student learning and achievement. The district may want to investigate the root causes of this issue and implement strategies to improve attendance. Additionally, with per-student spending of $11,835, the district should analyze how these financial resources are being allocated to ensure they are being used effectively to drive student outcomes.
