Summary:
The Port Huron Area School District is home to three middle schools: Central Middle School, Fort Gratiot Middle School, and Holland Woods Middle School. While the schools share the same district, their academic performance and other key metrics vary significantly.
Fort Gratiot Middle School stands out as the top-performing middle school in the district, ranking 320th out of 897 Michigan middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, with 42.1% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 28.9% for the district and 37.5% for the state. Additionally, Fort Gratiot Middle School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a smaller percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance.
In contrast, Central Middle School and Holland Woods Middle School struggle to meet district and state averages, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. These disparities highlight the need for the Port Huron Area School District to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the performance gaps between the middle schools and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
