Summary

Allendale Middle School, part of the Allendale Public Schools district, serves 564 students in grades 6-8 and has earned a 4-star rating for the past decade, ranking in the 85th percentile of Michigan middle schools for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school has some standout strengths that parents will want to know about. Eighth graders post remarkable scores in Social Studies, with 71.2% proficient—nearly 21 points above the state average. Their PSAT English Language Arts scores are equally impressive, with 80.3% proficient, outpacing the state by over 15 points. Sixth-grade math is another bright spot, with 50% proficiency compared to the state's 31.9%. The school is also notably effective at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide for this group. However, there is a clear "7th-grade slump" where both ELA and math scores dip significantly before rebounding in 8th grade. Chronic absenteeism (23.4%) is better than the state average but much higher than nearby high-achieving schools like Cityside Middle School (9.0%) and Creekside Middle School (8.1%).

When compared to neighboring districts, Allendale holds its own but faces stiff competition. While its 8th-grade PSAT math proficiency (46.5%) is above the state average, it trails Jenison Junior High School (65.3%) and Riley Street Middle School (57%). The school's overall performance is strong, but the data reveals a gap for Hispanic students, who rank in the 54th percentile—a significant improvement from the 39th percentile two years ago, yet still below the school's overall excellence. For parents, this is a solid, stable school with clear academic strengths, particularly in ELA and Social Studies, and a few areas worth watching as your child progresses through middle school.
