Tecumseh Middle School

Summary:

Tecumseh Middle School is a public magnet middle school serving 793 students in grades 5-8 in Tecumseh, Michigan, which is part of the Tecumseh Public Schools district. The school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with particularly strong performance for certain student subgroups, and has seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism in recent years.

Tecumseh Middle School's academic performance is a standout, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and math that exceed the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 6th and 7th grade ELA proficiency rates were significantly higher than those of nearby schools like Napoleon Middle School, Milan Middle School, and Onsted Middle School. The school's Hispanic and White student subgroups also perform particularly well, ranking among the top middle schools in the state.

Tecumseh Middle School's strong academic performance is further supported by its increased spending per student, which has risen from $10,356 in 2019-2020 to $14,199 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (33.54%) compared to nearby schools like Madison Middle School (62.37%) and Springbrook Middle School (70.67%) suggests that it serves a more economically advantaged student population, which may contribute to its academic success.

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.
