Summary:
Lamphere Public Schools is home to a single middle school, Page Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 in Madison Heights, MI, with an enrollment of 538 students.
Page Middle School is a solid mid-tier performer, ranking in the 61st percentile of Michigan middle schools with a 3-star rating. The school’s biggest academic strength is 8th-grade English Language Arts on the PSAT, where 71.7% of students are proficient—nearly 7 points above the state average. Social Studies and Science in 8th grade also beat state averages. However, math is a clear weakness: only 23.8% of 6th graders and 30.5% of 8th graders are proficient in math, both well below state averages. The school also saw significant year-over-year declines in several subjects, including a 9-point drop in 6th-grade math and a 10-point drop in 7th-grade ELA.
Financially, the school spends a substantial $17,974 per student, yet this investment does not translate into top-tier results. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 30.5%, which is higher than both the district and state averages and likely undermines academic progress. With over half of students (51.86%) eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school faces economic challenges that may require targeted support. Since Page Middle School is the only middle school in the district, its performance directly defines the district’s reputation at this level. For parents, the key takeaway is that the school excels in humanities and language arts, especially by 8th grade, but needs focused intervention in math and attendance to help all students succeed.
