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).
