Summary:
The city of Coloma, Michigan has only one middle school, Coloma Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Coloma Community Schools district. Based on the available data, Coloma Junior High School appears to be a struggling middle school, performing below average compared to other Michigan middle schools.
Coloma Junior High School is ranked 556 out of 890 Michigan middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies are all below the state averages for the 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 school years. Additionally, the school's PSAT proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are also below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $15,895 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance remains below par. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population, of which 73.33% were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing the academic performance concerns, socioeconomic challenges, and high chronic absenteeism rate will be crucial for improving the quality of education at Coloma Junior High School.
