Carrollton Middle School

Summary:

Carrollton Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Saginaw, Michigan, with a diverse student population. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Carrollton Middle School faces several significant challenges. The school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 57.6% in 2021-2022 and 44.9% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT proficiency rates, is consistently lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26% of 6th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.5%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than nearby schools.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $16,436 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools, Carrollton Middle School has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or overall ranking over the past several years. The school's performance lags significantly behind many of the nearby schools, such as EF Rittmueller Middle School in Frankenmuth School District and Swan Valley Middle School in Swan Valley School District, which have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings.

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.
