Summary:
The Pinconning Middle School is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 within the Pinconning Area Schools district in Michigan. With 280 students and a student-teacher ratio of 20:1, the school faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and academic performance that is generally on par with or slightly below the state averages in most subject areas.
While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in 6th-grade English Language Arts and 8th-grade Science, it also struggles in other subjects. In M-Step/Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 22.9% in 7th grade to 32% in 6th grade, compared to the state average of 31.5% to 33.3%. Similarly, in PSAT/Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 30.3%, compared to the state average of 30.4%. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $11,336.
Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and supporting its academic performance, particularly in areas where it lags behind the state averages, could be key focus areas for the Pinconning Middle School and the Pinconning Area Schools district. The school's demographics, with over 56% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may also be a contributing factor to its academic outcomes and should be considered when evaluating the school's performance.
