Summary:
The Carson City-Crystal Area Schools district in Michigan has only one middle school, Carson City-Crystal Upper Elementary Middle School, which serves grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 254 students.
While the school's per-student spending of $13,503 is above the state average, its academic performance lags behind. The school's test scores on the M-Step and PSAT exams are generally below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with the 4th grade ELA proficiency rate at 39.3% compared to the state average of 42.4%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is quite high compared to the state average.
The school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 58.27% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the school's academic struggles, and the district should consider strategies to address the needs of this student population. Overall, the data suggests that Carson City-Crystal Area Schools and its lone middle school face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students.
