Manton Consolidated Middle School

Summary:

Manton Consolidated Middle School is a public middle school serving 304 students in grades 5-8 in the rural town of Manton, Michigan. The school is part of the McBain Rural Agricultural Schools district, which is ranked 175 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Manton Consolidated Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.47%) compared to the state average, it has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.0% in 2018-2019 to 25.8% in 2022-2023 - notably higher than the state average and nearby schools like McBain Middle School and Kingsley Area Middle School. The school's test scores are generally below state averages, particularly in math and social studies, though it performs better in English Language Arts. Additionally, Manton Consolidated Middle School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.5% to 63.41% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Manton Consolidated Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 301 out of 838 Michigan middle schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 455 out of 776 in 2021-2022. This suggests the school is struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in the state. While the school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with female and low-socioeconomic status students performing relatively well, it struggles with the performance of white and special education students. Addressing the factors contributing to these challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic disparities, could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.

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.
