Summary:
Quincy Community Schools is home to a single middle school, Quincy Middle School, which serves grades 5 through 8 and enrolls 345 students in this rural Michigan community.
Quincy Middle School has shown remarkable improvement, climbing from the 55th percentile in state rankings two years ago to the 75th percentile today, and earning a 4-star rating. The school’s greatest strengths are clearly in the upper grades. Eighth graders post exceptional scores, with 75.3% proficiency in social studies (25 points above the state average), 56.2% in science (17 points above), and strong PSAT results in both math (49.3% vs. 33.2% statewide) and English language arts (74.0% vs. 64.8%). This upper-grade success stands in contrast to 5th grade, where students lag behind state averages in math (19.8% vs. 32.2%), ELA (41.5% vs. 43.8%), and social studies. Math performance is notably inconsistent across grade levels—5th and 7th graders trail the state by 11 to 12 points, while 8th graders exceed it by 16 points on the PSAT.
Attendance is a clear positive, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 17.5% compared to the state’s 27.9%. The school also serves a moderate-poverty population, with 31% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, yet still outperforms state averages in most 8th-grade subjects. The year-over-year gains in 8th grade are striking—social studies proficiency jumped 27 points and PSAT ELA rose nearly 18 points in a single year. For parents, this school offers a strong, improving environment, particularly for students in grades 6 through 8, though the 5th-grade year and inconsistent math performance across lower grades suggest areas where additional support could be beneficial.
