Summary:
The Warren Consolidated Schools district in Michigan is home to 5 middle schools serving grades 6-8. These schools include Beer Middle School, Grissom Middle School, Carter Middle School, Carleton Middle School, and the standout Middle School Mathematics Science Technology Center.
The Middle School Mathematics Science Technology Center is an exceptional performer, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in Michigan. This public magnet school boasts extremely high test scores, with 81.3% proficiency in 7th grade ELA and 87.5% proficiency in 8th grade PSAT Math, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio of 4.5, allowing for more individualized attention, and spends $45,319 per student, likely reflecting the specialized STEM-focused curriculum and resources.
In contrast, the other 4 middle schools in the district generally underperform compared to district and state averages on test scores, with some exceptions like Beer Middle School outperforming in 6th grade ELA. Chronic absenteeism is a concerning issue, with all 5 middle schools reporting the same 29.5% rate. Additionally, the free/reduced lunch rates range from 51.47% at the Middle School Mathematics Science Technology Center to over 80% at Grissom Middle School and Carleton Middle School, indicating significant economic disadvantage across the district's middle school population.
