Summary:
Springport, Michigan has only one middle school, Springport Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools, with proficiency rates below state averages across various assessments. Despite higher per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio slightly above the recommended level, the school faces challenges in student achievement and chronic absenteeism.
Springport Middle School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in M-Step and PSAT assessments, is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school ranked 594th out of 890 middle schools in Michigan in the 2024-2025 school year, 457th out of 897 in 2023-2024, and 564th out of 883 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.39% in the 2023-2024 school year.
One notable concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is often linked to lower academic performance and other negative outcomes. To address these challenges, the Springport Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions, review its resource allocation strategies, and explore ways to improve student attendance and engagement.
