Summary:
The city of Carleton, Michigan, is home to two middle schools: Wagar Junior High School and Wagar Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Airport Community Schools district.
Based on the available data, neither Wagar Junior High School nor Wagar Middle School stands out as an exceptional performer. Both schools have relatively average rankings and ratings within the state of Michigan. However, they face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and below-average academic performance on state assessments compared to the state average. Both schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
In terms of key metrics, Wagar Junior High School is ranked 466 out of 890 Michigan middle schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Wagar Middle School does not have any ranking or rating information provided. Both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is higher than the state average. Academically, the schools perform below the state average on M-Step and PSAT assessments across various grade levels and subject areas. Addressing attendance and engagement issues, as well as supporting economically disadvantaged students, could be focus areas for the district to improve educational outcomes for its middle school students.
