Summary:
Ravenna Middle School is the sole middle school in Ravenna Public Schools, serving grades 5 through 8 with 291 students in the Ravenna, Michigan area.
Ravenna Middle School holds a consistent 2-star rating and ranks in the 32nd-35th percentile among Michigan middle schools over the past three years. The school’s standout achievement is in 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts, where students scored 67.6% proficiency—above the state average of 64.8%. This is the only subject where the school outperforms the state, and it’s especially notable because these same students scored 16-19 points below state averages on M-Step ELA in earlier grades. Math remains the school’s biggest challenge, with proficiency rates ranging from just 10.6% in 5th grade to 18.9% on the 8th grade PSAT—all well below state benchmarks. Chronic absenteeism is a relative bright spot at 23.0%, better than both the district (25.0%) and state (27.9%) averages.
Parents should note significant year-to-year volatility in scores. For example, 8th grade science proficiency nearly doubled from 14.3% in 2024-2025 to 27.0% in 2025-2026, while ELA scores dropped sharply across all grades during the same period. The school spends $14,651 per student with a 16.3:1 student-teacher ratio, yet outcomes remain below state averages in most subjects. Social studies shows relative strength in 8th grade at 39.2% proficiency, compared to just 15.3% in 5th grade. With 44% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school faces moderate economic challenges. Overall, Ravenna Middle School offers a stable but modest academic experience, with notable strengths in 8th grade ELA and attendance, but persistent weaknesses in math that families should monitor closely.
