Middle Schools in Comstock Park Public Schools

The Comstock Park Public Schools district in Michigan has only one middle school, Mill Creek Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, it faces some challenges in terms of academic performance, with proficiency rates generally lower than the district and state averages.

Mill Creek Middle School has an enrollment of 391 students, with a racial makeup of 53.2% White, 8.44% African American, 26.85% Hispanic, 0.77% Asian, 0.26% Pacific Islander, and 10.49% two or more races. The school's proficiency rates on the M-Step and PSAT assessments range from 24.8% to 69.5% across different grade levels and subject areas, with some exceptions where the school outperforms the district and state. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 26.7% is a concern and may be contributing to the lower academic performance.

Despite the school's higher spending per student of $14,013, its ranking and rating have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 284 out of 883 schools (3 stars) in 2022-2023 to 314 out of 776 schools (3 stars) in 2021-2022. This suggests that the school's performance may be inconsistent or influenced by factors beyond just academic achievement. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and identifying strategies to improve proficiency rates in core subject areas could be important focus areas for Comstock Park Public Schools and Mill Creek Middle School.
