Eastpointe Middle School

Summary:

Eastpointe Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Eastpointe, Michigan, with a student population of 464. The school has a predominantly African American student body (79.31%), with smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Eastpointe Middle School faces significant challenges, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing middle schools in Michigan. The school's academic performance is well below state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from just 2.8% to 18.6% on various state assessments. Additionally, the school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.8% to 74.9% over the past several years, which is significantly higher than the state average. These academic and attendance issues are likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Parcells Middle School, which is located just 2.67 miles away, Eastpointe Middle School is significantly underperforming academically, with proficiency rates over 30 percentage points lower. The racial composition of Eastpointe Middle School is also strikingly different from the nearby schools, raising questions about potential racial inequities and the need for targeted interventions to support the academic achievement of the predominantly African American student body. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable resource allocation will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Eastpointe Middle School.

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.
