Summary

Carrollton Middle School in Saginaw, MI, serves 344 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Carrollton Public Schools district, which holds a 1-star rating statewide.

Carrollton Middle School has earned a 2-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the 31st percentile of Michigan middle schools—a slight improvement from last year's 1-star rating. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 82.56% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. One of the most pressing concerns is chronic absenteeism, which affects 46.2% of students—nearly double the state average of 27.9%. This is likely a major factor in the school's academic challenges. Academically, the school shows a stark contrast between subjects: while 8th-grade ELA proficiency (59.2%) approaches the state average (64.8%), math proficiency is critically low across all grades. For example, only 5.9% of 6th graders and 7.8% of 7th graders were proficient in math on the M-Step, compared to state averages of roughly 32-33%. The school does show notable strengths, however, ranking in the 66th percentile for African American students and the 58th percentile for Special Education students—both significantly higher than its overall ranking.

Compared to nearby schools, Carrollton spends more per student ($16,875) than higher-performing schools like Swan Valley Middle School ($13,168) and Western Middle School ($13,798), yet its academic outcomes are much lower. Swan Valley, just 8 miles away, has a 92nd percentile ranking and math proficiency rates above 45%. Carrollton's performance is more aligned with high-poverty schools in the Saginaw School District of the City of, such as Thompson Middle School and Saginaw Middle School. However, Carrollton's success with specific student subgroups sets it apart. The school's high spending without corresponding high outcomes suggests that financial resources alone aren't solving the problem—addressing the chronic absenteeism crisis appears to be the most critical step toward improving achievement across all subjects.
