Summary

Charlotte Middle School serves 406 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Charlotte Public Schools district, a mid-sized school in Charlotte, MI that has shown a strong upward trend in recent years after a period of lower performance.

Charlotte Middle School has some notable academic strengths. Its 8th graders shine in Science and Social Studies, with proficiency rates of 53.7% and 57.2% respectively—well above state averages. In fact, the school outperforms nearby Potterville Middle School and Springport Middle School in these subjects. However, math is a clear area of concern. Only 24.7% of 8th graders scored proficient on the PSAT math test, compared to the state average of 33.2%, and this gap has persisted for several years. This creates an unusual 40-point gap between the school's own strong ELA scores (65.6% proficient) and its math scores. When compared to the high-performing Kenneth T Beagle Middle School in Grand Ledge, which achieves 43.2% math proficiency, it's clear there's room for growth in this subject.

One of the most encouraging developments is the school's dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from a staggering 60.7% in 2021-2022 to just 22.5% in 2024-2025—now better than the state average of 27.9%. This improvement likely contributes to the school's rising academic rankings. The school also appears to be supporting its economically disadvantaged students effectively, with low-SES students ranking in the 64th percentile, above the school's overall 60th percentile ranking. All of this is accomplished while spending less per student ($13,154) than nearby schools like Waverly Middle School ($15,922) and Springport Middle School ($15,355), suggesting efficient use of resources.
