Summary

Carrollton Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Saginaw, Michigan, with 341 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carrollton Middle School significantly underperforms the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.5% of 6th graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 38.6%, and in math, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 4.63% of 6th graders and 12.6% of 7th graders meeting proficiency standards, compared to state averages of 31.5% and 33.3% respectively. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 47.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Carrollton Middle School serves a high-poverty student population, with 89.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, much higher than the state average. The school's performance for students with special needs and low-income students is also concerning. Interestingly, EF Rittmueller Middle School in Frankenmuth and Swan Valley Middle School, which serve more affluent and higher-performing student populations, consistently outperform Carrollton Middle School across academic measures. Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,665 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average and nearby schools, Carrollton Middle School's higher spending does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes.
