Summary:
The Crestwood School District in Michigan has one middle school, Riverside Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The district is located in a suburban area and faces challenges with student academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Riverside Middle School's performance on standardized tests, such as the M-Step and PSAT, is generally below the district and state averages across various subject areas and grade levels. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the overall academic underperformance. Additionally, the school serves a student population with a high percentage (80.74%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's underperformance, Riverside Middle School has a relatively high per-student spending of $15,504 in the 2023-2024 school year, which raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.5 is within the typical range for middle schools. Overall, the data suggests that Riverside Middle School is a struggling school within the Crestwood School District, and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
