Summary:

KuehnHaven Middle School faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. The school's M-Step test scores in English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.6% to 37.9% in ELA and 23.6% to 34.2% in Math, compared to state averages of 37.5% to 44% in ELA and 31% to 39.1% in Math. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 14.0% in 2020-2021 to 22.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Flushing Middle School (29.2%) and Clio Middle School (28.8%).

Interestingly, KuehnHaven Middle School stands out for its relatively low diversity, with 84.94% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the racial diversity of nearby schools such as Richfield Public School Academy (18.57% white) and Hamady Middle School (7.23% white). The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.22% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges. Despite the district's increased spending per student, from $9,806 in 2019-2020 to $14,277 in 2022-2023, the school's performance has not yet shown significant improvement, suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific needs of the 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.
