Summary:
The Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Laker Schools district in Michigan has one middle school, Laker Middle School, serving grades 6-8. While the school has some positive attributes, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain subject areas, it also faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and lower-than-average proficiency rates in other subject areas.
Laker Middle School has an enrollment of 234 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.4, slightly higher than the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 58.97% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. In terms of academic performance, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science/Social Studies are slightly higher than the state average, but its Math proficiency rates are lower.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is a concern, and addressing the root causes of high absenteeism could be an important area of focus. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $13,812 is higher than the state average, suggesting that the district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to improve student outcomes, particularly in the area of Math.
