Middle Schools in Durand Area Schools

Summary:

Durand Area Schools has only one middle school, Durand Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 442 out of 897 Michigan middle schools in 2023-2024 to 544 out of 890 in 2024-2025, and a 2-star rating out of 5 in the most recent year.

Durand Middle School's proficiency rates in core academic subjects are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates in M-Step/Science (42.3%) and M-Step/Social Studies (45.2%) were higher than the state averages of 41.1% and 47%, respectively. However, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.1% in 2023-2024, which could contribute to the lower academic performance.

Despite the school's below-average proficiency rates, its per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $14,104, which is higher than the state average. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and whether the funds are being utilized to address the specific needs of the student population and improve academic outcomes.
