Summary:
Evart Public Schools has a single middle school, Evart Middle School, serving grades 6-8. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with its ranking and performance on standardized tests fluctuating and generally declining compared to other Michigan middle schools.
Evart Middle School has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies are generally lower than the state averages for Michigan. However, the school's PSAT performance in English Language Arts was better than the state average, while its PSAT Math performance was slightly below the state average.
The high percentage of students (74.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Evart Middle School indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the higher per-student spending of $15,810, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance remains below the state average. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic factors affecting the student population, will likely require a multi-faceted approach beyond simply increasing funding or resources.
