Summary

Constantine Middle School serves 309 students in grades 6-8 in the small village of Constantine, Michigan, as part of the Constantine Public School District. The school has shown steady recovery since the pandemic, moving from the 23rd percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to its current 42nd percentile ranking, and it stands out among nearby options for its strong social studies program and dramatic improvements in student attendance.

One of the school's clearest strengths is 8th-grade social studies, where students consistently outperform the state average—most recently with 54.3% scoring proficient compared to the state's 50.3%, and an especially impressive 43.5% versus 29.7% in 2023-2024. The school has also made remarkable progress with chronic absenteeism, cutting the rate from a staggering 54.5% in 2020-2021 down to 23.2% in 2024-2025—a reduction of over 31 percentage points that outpaces the district's overall rate of 35.3%. This suggests effective attendance initiatives are taking hold at the middle school level. Additionally, 8th graders perform competitively on the PSAT, with 62.8% proficient in ELA and 30.9% in math, both close to state averages, indicating that students may be catching up by the time they reach the end of middle school.

However, math proficiency on the state's M-Step assessment remains a significant concern. Only 17.6% of 6th graders and 19.2% of 7th graders scored proficient in math, roughly 14 points below state averages—a gap that persists across multiple years. This is particularly notable when compared to Three Rivers Middle School, just 8.5 miles away, which achieves math scores much closer to state averages. On a positive note, Constantine spends $14,448 per student—less than Three Rivers' $26,667—yet achieves comparable results in several areas, suggesting efficient use of resources. The school also performs well with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 45th percentile for that group, which exceeds its overall 42nd percentile ranking. While Cassopolis Middle School (24th percentile) and Sturgis Middle School (28th percentile) trail behind, Marcellus Middle School (54th percentile) edges out Constantine in overall ranking. For parents, this school offers a solid middle-ground option with clear strengths in social studies and attendance, but math support at home and school will be important.
