Summary:
The North Central Area Schools district in Michigan has only one middle school, North Central Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly White student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, North Central Middle School's performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate exceeds the state average, its 7th-grade ELA and mathematics proficiency rates are significantly lower. However, the school's 8th-grade science and social studies proficiency rates are higher than the state averages. Additionally, the school's 8th-grade students outperform the state in PSAT ELA but underperform in mathematics.
Other notable characteristics of North Central Middle School include a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average, and per-student spending of $9,294. The lack of racial diversity and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present challenges that the school and district will need to address to ensure all students receive a well-rounded and equitable education.
