Summary:

The Lansing Public School District in Michigan operates two middle schools: Sheridan Road and Mt Hope School. Both schools are struggling academically, ranking in the bottom quartile of Michigan middle schools and performing significantly below state and district averages across key metrics.

Neither Sheridan Road nor Mt Hope School stand out as high-performing institutions. Both schools have 0-star and 1-star ratings, respectively, from SchoolDigger, indicating they are underperforming. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are consistently lower at these schools compared to the Lansing Public School District and the state of Michigan.

Additionally, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The schools also serve economically disadvantaged communities, with over 90% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, the academic performance at Sheridan Road and Mt Hope School has remained consistently low, with little improvement over time.
