Summary:
Bullock Creek School District is home to a single middle school, Bullock Creek Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 in the Midland, Michigan area with a total enrollment of 348 students.
Bullock Creek Middle School stands out for its strong performance in 8th grade content-area subjects. In the most recent testing year, 8th graders scored 5.7 percentage points above the state average in Science and 7.3 points above in Social Studies. The school also excels in English Language Arts (ELA) in the lower grades, with 6th and 7th graders outperforming state averages by 7 and 10.7 percentage points, respectively. However, math proficiency is a consistent weak spot, with both 6th and 7th grade scores falling below state averages. The school also shows significant year-over-year ranking volatility, jumping from the 68th percentile in 2023-24 to the 82nd percentile in 2024-25, then dropping back to the 68th percentile in 2025-26, suggesting performance is heavily influenced by specific cohorts of students.
Beyond academics, the school maintains a healthy attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.5%—far better than the state average of 27.9%. The student-teacher ratio is a reasonable 16.2:1, and per-student spending is $13,648. With only 33.33% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, the school serves a comparatively affluent population. For parents, the key takeaway is that Bullock Creek Middle School offers strong ELA and 8th-grade subject instruction, but families should be aware of the persistent math gap and the potential for significant performance swings between different class years.
