Summary:
Middle-school options in Calumet Public School District 132 consist of one school, Calumet Elementary School, serving grades 6–8 with 316 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades ELA proficiency was 47%, compared with 56% statewide, while its math proficiency was 12%, compared with 40% statewide. The clearest concern is mathematics: the school’s all-grades result was 28 points below the state, and its grade-level math results were 23 to 30 points below state rates.
Because this is the only school in the list, there is no meaningful school-to-school ranking or comparison of top and bottom performers. Within the school, however, results vary notably by subject and grade: eighth-grade ELA was 63%, just 0.3 points above the state’s 63%, and eighth-grade science was 54%, 2 points above the state. Eighth-grade math remained a weak spot at 11%, 24 points below the state. Overall, ELA was stronger than math: its state gap was 9 points, compared with a 28-point math gap; the school exceeded district rates by 13 points in ELA and 2 points in math.
Results improved toward state levels in all three subjects with year-to-year comparisons. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 38% to 47% and math from 5% to 12%, narrowing each state gap by about 6 points; eighth-grade science rose from 13% to 54%, shifting from below the state to above it. SchoolDigger’s school percentile increased from the 11th in 2023–2024 to the 21st in 2025–2026, though its latest rank was 887 out of 1,126. SchoolDigger separately rates the district 722 out of 738, with 0 stars. Context measures include a 22.5:1 student–teacher ratio and 56% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was 33% in 2025–2026, above the state’s 24% and below the district’s 34%.
