Summary:
The Coopersville Area Public School District is home to a single middle school, Coopersville Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 584 students in a suburban Michigan community.
Coopersville Middle School is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating for three straight years and ranking 146th out of 896 Michigan middle schools in 2025-2026 (84th percentile), up from 180th the prior year. Academically, it beats state averages in every subject and grade level. For example, 8th-grade social studies proficiency is 63.6% versus the state's 50.3%, and 8th-grade PSAT English Language Arts proficiency is an impressive 74.2% compared to 64.8% statewide. Math proficiency in 7th grade (49.1%) far exceeds the state average (33.3%), and even the lower 6th-grade math score (36.4%) tops the state's 31.9%. The school also posts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 15.1%, nearly half the state average of 27.9%, despite 39.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
One notable pattern is a clear academic jump between 6th and 7th grade, particularly in math, where proficiency rises by over 12 percentage points—a trend seen in two consecutive years, suggesting a strong 7th-grade curriculum or teaching team. Additionally, the school shows a positive trajectory overall: students enter above state averages in 6th grade and leave in 8th grade with even stronger skills, especially in ELA and social studies. This indicates the school actively accelerates learning rather than just maintaining it. With per-student spending of $15,082 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1, Coopersville Middle School offers a supportive, well-resourced environment where strong attendance and rising test scores point to a school that prepares students well for high school.
