Summary:
Cassopolis Public Schools operates a single middle school, Cassopolis Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 in the rural community of Cassopolis, Michigan. Based on the available data, Cassopolis Middle School appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools and performing significantly below state averages on academic assessments.
Cassopolis Middle School's proficiency rates on the M-Step and PSAT assessments are well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.2% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 38.6%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 61.35% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,142 and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.8, Cassopolis Middle School has struggled to improve its academic outcomes. This suggests that the school may face significant challenges in addressing the needs of its students, and that additional strategies or interventions may be necessary to support student success.
