Coopersville Middle School

Summary:

Coopersville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Coopersville, Michigan, part of the Allendale Public Schools district. With a student population of 610, the school has a predominantly White student body (85.57%) and consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels.

Coopersville Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, ranking in the top 20% of Michigan middle schools in recent years. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math for 6th and 7th grades were significantly higher than the state averages. The school's performance also remains strong across different student subgroups, with female and male students, as well as White students, all ranking highly compared to other Michigan middle schools. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students (41.97%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's academic success suggests effective strategies in supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Coopersville Middle School's performance is particularly noteworthy when compared to nearby schools. For example, Jenison Junior High School and Baldwin Street Middle School, both highly ranked (5-star and 4-star, respectively), have lower proficiency rates in some subjects compared to Coopersville Middle School. Additionally, the school's increased per-student spending, from $9,791 in 2019-2020 to $13,464 in 2022-2023, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio may have contributed to its academic success.

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.
