Summary:
The Hazel Park School District of the City of has only one middle school, Hazel Park Junior High School, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan middle schools over the past 3 school years. The school's performance rating is 1 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger scale, and its proficiency rates in core subjects are significantly below the state averages, often by 20 percentage points or more.
Hazel Park Junior High School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 80.41% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's chronic absenteeism rate for the same year was 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. These socioeconomic and attendance challenges may be contributing factors to the school's low performance, and addressing them will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach.
The data does not provide any information on the school's per-student spending, making it difficult to assess the school's resource allocation and potential connections to its performance. However, the persistent challenges faced by Hazel Park Junior High School, including consistently low performance, large proficiency gaps, and high poverty and chronic absenteeism rates, suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.
