Middle Schools in Bangor Public Schools (Van Buren)

Summary:

Bangor Public Schools (Van Buren) in Michigan has only one middle school, Bangor Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. The school is performing below average compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking 671 out of 890 Michigan middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bangor Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.1% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school also has a high percentage of students (76.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($15,828 in the 2023-2024 school year, higher than the state average), its academic performance remains well below the state average. This suggests that the Bangor Public Schools (Van Buren) district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by Bangor Middle School and its students.
