Anderson Middle School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Michigan middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 96-156 out of 897 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly higher than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, 61.9% of 7th-grade students at Derby Middle School were proficient or better in M-Step English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.9%. Anderson Middle School also excels in supporting the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, such as African American students, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, outperforming many nearby schools like Page Middle School and Crescent Academy Middle School.

While Anderson Middle School faces some challenges with chronic absenteeism, the school's diverse student population, higher per-student spending, and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest it is well-positioned to continue providing a quality education to its students. However, the school still lags behind the high-performing magnet schools in the Birmingham Public Schools district, such as Berkshire Middle School, which have significantly higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
