Charlotte Middle School

Summary:

Charlotte Middle School is a public middle school located in Charlotte, Michigan, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from a high of 248 out of 894 Michigan middle schools in 2015-2016 to a current ranking of 602 out of 897 in 2023-2024. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White, with 86.36% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year.

One of the key concerns at Charlotte Middle School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 20.1% in 2019-2020 to 32.1% in 2022-2023. This is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Eaton Rapids Middle School (30.3%) and Olivet Middle School (22.1%). Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby schools. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.1% of 7th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.9%, and the math proficiency rate for 7th-grade students was 16.3%, significantly lower than the state average of 32.1%.

Another area of concern is the significant differences in performance between student subgroups at Charlotte Middle School. For instance, in 2023-2024, the school's White students ranked 602 out of 701 Michigan middle schools, while its Hispanic students ranked 56 out of 266 in 2017-2018. This suggests potential achievement gaps between different demographic groups. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has seen a steady increase, rising from $9,165 in 2019-2020 to $15,139 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the spending levels of some nearby schools, such as Eaton Rapids Middle School ($13,859) and Olivet Middle School ($14,284).

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.
