Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the Crescent Academy district - Crescent Academy Middle School. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan middle schools over the past 3 years and has significantly below-average proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average.
Crescent Academy Middle School serves a high-poverty student population, with 98.62% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.7 to 1 and high per-student spending of $14,201, the academic performance of the students remains significantly below state averages, with only 27.9% of 7th graders proficient in ELA, 13.8% in science, and 19% in social studies, compared to state averages of 39.2%, 41.1%, and 47%, respectively.
The school's PSAT performance for 8th graders is also well below the state average, with only 43.1% proficient in ELA and 5.7% in math, compared to 65.3% and 32.6% statewide. These consistently low academic outcomes suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the students' academic struggles.
