Mattawan Middle School

Summary:

Mattawan Middle School is a public middle school serving 817 students in grades 6-8 in Mattawan, Michigan, which is part of the highly-ranked Mattawan Consolidated School District. This school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with 45.9% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 37.5% statewide, and 49.8% proficient or better in math compared to 31% across Michigan.

Mattawan Middle School's performance is particularly strong for its Hispanic and multi-racial student subgroups, ranking 51st and 52nd out of Michigan middle schools respectively in English Language Arts. However, the school's special education students are an area of concern, with the school ranking 145th out of 201 middle schools in the state for this subgroup. While Mattawan's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.3% is lower than the state average of 19.6%, this metric has been increasing in recent years and is worth monitoring.

Compared to nearby schools, Mattawan Middle School outperforms many of its counterparts, such as Milwood Magnet School (21.4% proficient in 6th grade ELA) and Marcellus Middle School (38.6% proficient). This may be due in part to Mattawan's lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (27.54%) compared to schools like Hillside Middle School (71.48%) and Linden Grove Middle School (68.65%), suggesting Mattawan serves a more affluent student population.

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.
