Summary

Chippewa Hills Middle School in Remus, MI, serves 503 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the Chippewa Hills School District, which holds a 4-star rating.

This school has shown remarkable improvement over the past five years, climbing from the 18th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 70th percentile in 2025-2026—a dramatic turnaround that places it ahead of nearby schools like Farwell Middle School (24th percentile), Evart Middle School (46th percentile), and Morley Stanwood Middle School (31st percentile). Its closest competitor is Lakeview Middle School (69th percentile), but Chippewa Hills shows a stronger upward trend. The school is particularly effective with male students (77th percentile) and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (78th percentile)—both significantly higher than the school's overall ranking. About 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher rate than districts like Mt. Pleasant City School District (44%) or Big Rapids Public Schools (46%), yet the school still outperforms them academically.

Academically, Chippewa Hills excels in English Language Arts, especially in 7th grade (45.5% proficiency vs. 38.4% state average) and 8th grade PSAT ELA (75.4% vs. 64.8% state average). Math is a strength in 7th grade (43.9% vs. 33.3% state average), but results are more mixed in 5th and 6th grades, where proficiency has dipped below state averages. Science in 8th grade (43%) beats the state average (39.2%). One area of concern is a notable gender gap—while boys rank in the 77th percentile, girls rank in only the 51st percentile. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 55.3% in 2021-2022 to 26.8% in 2024-2025, though it remains slightly above the state average. Despite this challenge, the school's strong results suggest that when students are present, learning is highly effective.
