Onsted Middle School

Summary:

Onsted Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Onsted, Michigan, with a student population of 284 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Onsted Community Schools district, which is ranked 371 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Onsted Middle School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.14%) compared to the state average for middle schools, and below-average academic performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT proficiency rates, across most subject areas and grade levels. For example, the school's 6th grade ELA proficiency rate was 31.3% compared to the state average of 37.5%, and its 7th grade Math proficiency rate was 31.3% compared to the state average of 32.1%. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 7.3% in 2019-2020 to 25.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average for middle schools.

While Onsted Middle School performs better than some nearby lower-ranked schools, such as Middle School at Parkside and Springbrook Middle School, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Tecumseh Middle School and Clinton Middle School. Additionally, Onsted Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 347 out of 921 Michigan middle schools in 2013-2014 to 422 out of 897 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other middle schools across the state.

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.
