Middle Schools in Shelby Public Schools

Summary:

Shelby Public Schools in Michigan has only one middle school, Shelby Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its ranking among Michigan middle schools declining from 387 in 2023-2024 to 446 in 2024-2025, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent school year.

Academically, Shelby Middle School's performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in some subjects, such as M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math, falling below the state averages for Michigan. However, the school has performed better in other areas, like PSAT proficiency in English Language Arts for 8th grade. The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite these challenges, Shelby Public Schools is working to address the needs of its students and improve the performance of Shelby Middle School. The district's efforts to support the school and its students could be crucial in helping the school improve its ranking and academic outcomes in the years to come.
