Summary:
Pennfield Schools, located in Michigan, has a single middle school serving grades 6-8. Pennfield Middle School faces significant challenges, with academic performance and student attendance well below state averages. Despite spending more per student than the state average, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Pennfield Middle School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is substantially lower than the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The school's proficiency rates range from 10.4% to 38.7%, compared to state averages of 31% to 37.9%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2% is alarmingly high, indicating that a significant portion of the student population is missing a substantial amount of instructional time.
While Pennfield Middle School spends more per student than the state average and has a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's leadership and the Pennfield Schools district should prioritize developing and implementing a strategic plan to address the underlying issues and improve outcomes for their students.
