Summary:
Clare Public Schools has only one middle school, Clare Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. Located in Clare, Michigan, the school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its ranking dropping from 327 out of 883 Michigan middle schools in 2022-2023 to 474 out of 890 in 2024-2025. Clare Middle School's test scores are consistently below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%.
The data suggests that Clare Middle School may be facing challenges in improving student outcomes. Over half (52.28%) of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16:1 in the 2023-2024 school year is relatively high, which could also impact the quality of education.
To address these issues, the Clare Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve academic achievement, attendance, and overall school performance at Clare Middle School. Addressing the challenges faced by this school could help ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
