Middle Schools in Coldwater Community Schools

Coldwater Community Schools in Michigan has only one middle school, Legg Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Legg Middle School's statewide ranking has declined from 355 out of 776 Michigan middle schools in 2021-2022 to 456 out of 897 in 2023-2024, indicating a drop in relative performance over time. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies are all lower than the state averages, suggesting a need for improvement in educational outcomes. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0% and the large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (60.8%) further highlight the challenges the school faces in supporting student success.

While the school's spending per student ($12,834) and student-teacher ratio (20.1) are not significantly out of line with state averages, the data suggests that resources may not be optimally allocated to address the specific needs of the student population. Targeted interventions and a focus on improving academic performance, attendance, and supporting economically disadvantaged students could be crucial for Coldwater Community Schools to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for students at Legg Middle School.
