Beer Middle School

Summary:

Beer Middle School is a public middle school located in Warren, Michigan, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 745 students. The school is part of the Warren Consolidated Schools district, which is ranked 365 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beer Middle School has a relatively diverse student population, with 43.36% White, 14.09% African American, 1.61% Hispanic, 36.11% Asian, and 4.43% two or more races. This diversity is higher than the nearby Grissom Middle School and Carter Middle School, which have lower percentages of Asian and multi-racial students. The school has shown improvement in its academic performance, with its statewide ranking rising from 543 out of 675 Michigan middle schools in 2020-2021 to 309 out of 897 in 2023-2024. However, the school's performance on M-Step and PSAT assessments is still below the state averages in several subject areas, indicating room for improvement.

Beer Middle School's performance on various student subgroups is noteworthy, with the school ranking highly for African American students (107 out of 300 in 2023-2024) and low-socioeconomic status students (109 out of 836 in 2023-2024). This suggests that the school is effectively serving these populations. However, the school's performance for Asian students and White students is relatively lower compared to other subgroups. Additionally, Beer Middle School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.1% in 2020-2021 to 40.1% in 2022-2023, which is a concerning trend that the school and district should address.

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.

Open Quote If your child has a problem with bullying and goes to report it, they will be called a tattle-tale. Also, self defense is apparently worthy of suspension. None of the staff cares about the students, and academics are treated as a joke. Horrible school experience. Close Quote

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.
