Middle Schools in Vicksburg Community Schools

Vicksburg Community Schools is home to a single middle school, Vicksburg Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 601 students in the Vicksburg, Michigan area.

Vicksburg Middle School is a standout performer, consistently exceeding state averages in every subject and grade level tested. The school has shown remarkable upward momentum in its state ranking, climbing from 252nd in 2023–2024 to 184th in 2025–2026—a jump of 68 positions that places it in the top 21% of Michigan middle schools. Its greatest strengths lie in 8th-grade assessments: science proficiency (54.4%) surpasses the state by 15.2 points, social studies (59.3%) beats the state by 9 points, and PSAT math (50.8%) exceeds the state by a striking 17.6 points. The school also excels in PSAT English language arts, with 76.7% proficiency compared to the state's 64.8%. Chronic absenteeism is a major advantage, sitting at just 15.6% versus the state average of 27.9%, which likely supports consistent academic progress.

While the school outperforms state benchmarks across the board, math remains its relative weakness, with 6th and 7th-grade M-Step proficiency rates of 37.3% and 38.4% respectively—still above state averages but below 40%. However, the 8th-grade PSAT math score jumped an impressive 14.8 points in one year, suggesting targeted interventions or a strong cohort. A year-over-year dip in 6th-grade ELA (from 49% to 40.1%) may reflect a cohort effect rather than a systemic issue, as the 7th-grade class improved slightly. Serving a moderate-poverty population (32% free/reduced lunch), the school achieves results typically seen in wealthier districts, indicating effective resource use. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 17.2:1 and per-student spending of $14,079, Vicksburg Middle School is a consistently improving, efficient school whose trajectory suggests it could soon break into the top 20% of Michigan middle schools.
