Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the Summit Academy North school district, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 409 students. Summit Academy North Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other middle schools in the state.
The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies well below the state averages. The school's PSAT performance is also below the state average, with only 51% of 8th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and 6.9% proficient in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $12,220, the data suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school serves a high-need population, with 73.59% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Addressing attendance issues and other factors, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student engagement, could be crucial steps in improving the overall performance of Summit Academy North Middle School.
