Springport Middle School

Summary:

Springport Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Springport, Michigan, with a student population of 231. The school is part of the Western School District, which is ranked 357 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Springport Middle School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.88%) compared to the state average, consistently underperforming the state average on standardized tests, and a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 17.3% to 23.7% over the past few years. The school also has a high percentage of students (over 60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Springport Middle School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 345 out of 821 Michigan middle schools in 2016-2017 to 457 out of 897 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other middle schools in the state.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Olivet Middle School and Western Middle School, Springport Middle School generally performs worse on academic measures, such as proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates and significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups are also areas of concern that may be contributing to its academic struggles.

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.
