Summary:
The Chippewa Hills School District in Michigan has one middle school, Chippewa Hills Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 298 out of 890 Michigan middle schools in 2024-2025 to 481 out of 883 in 2022-2023.
Chippewa Hills Middle School's academic performance is generally below state averages in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies proficiency rates across multiple grade levels. The school's PSAT performance is also mixed, with 8th-grade students scoring higher than the state average in English Language Arts but lower in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $13,829, the academic outcomes remain below state standards. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance. The school also serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 62.72% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
