Middle Schools in Corunna Public Schools

Corunna Public Schools has one middle school, Corunna Middle School, which serves grades 4-7. The school's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages, with strengths in some grade levels and subjects but weaknesses in others. Corunna Middle School faces challenges such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a student population that is predominantly White, which may not reflect the broader diversity found in many Michigan communities.

Corunna Middle School's enrollment is 452 students, with a racial makeup that is 91.37% White, 3.1% Hispanic, 0.88% African American, 0.88% Asian, and 3.76% two or more races. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is above the state average in some areas, such as 4th-grade English Language Arts and 5th-grade Science and Social Studies, but below the state average in other areas, such as 5th and 6th-grade English Language Arts and Math. The school's overall academic performance, as measured by its SchoolDigger ranking, has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 280th out of 776 Michigan middle schools in 2021-2022 to 362nd out of 883 in 2022-2023.

Corunna Middle School has a student-teacher ratio of 18.2, which is slightly higher than the state average, and a per-student spending of $13,551 for the 2022-2023 school year. The school also has a high percentage of students (57.96%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors, along with the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, may be contributing to the mixed academic performance and suggest that the Corunna Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for the students at Corunna Middle School.
