Middle Schools in Northwest Community Schools


Summary:

The Northwest Community Schools district in Michigan has only one middle school, Northwest Kidder Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and rankings in the 595-605 range out of 890 Michigan middle schools.

Northwest Kidder Middle School has a student population of 779, with a high percentage of students (53.79%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly lower than the state averages. The school's spending per student is $13,429, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2.

One notable concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which may be contributing to the school's overall academic performance. While the school's performance is on par with the Northwest Community Schools district, it is significantly below the state averages in most subject areas, indicating that there may be opportunities to strengthen the curriculum and instructional practices, particularly in Math, to improve student outcomes.
