Summary

LE White Middle School is a public middle school located in Allegan, Michigan, serving 436 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Allegan Public Schools district, which is ranked 343 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

LE White Middle School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 33.7% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Bangor Middle School (29.5%), Saugatuck Middle School (29.5%), and Wayland Union Middle School (29.5%). Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math falling well below the state averages.

While LE White Middle School ranks highly for Hispanic students and Special Education students, it ranks much lower for female students and White students, suggesting the need for more targeted support and interventions to address the specific needs of underperforming groups. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.55% to 68.9%, indicates that it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
