Summary

Evart Middle School is a small, rural school in Evart, MI, serving 232 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Evart Public Schools district.

Evart Middle School is on a clear upward trajectory. Over the past four years, its overall state ranking has climbed from the 20th percentile to the 46th percentile, a sign that recent efforts are paying off. The school's most notable strength is its work with students from low-income backgrounds. Despite nearly three-quarters of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 55th percentile statewide for effectiveness with these students—a higher rating than its overall ranking. This suggests the school is successfully supporting its most economically disadvantaged learners. Academically, 7th-grade math stands out as a particular bright spot, with proficiency rates (38.5%) that beat the state average and outperform nearby Big Rapids Middle School and Reed City Middle School.

However, there are areas that need attention. A persistent achievement gap exists between male and female students, with boys consistently outperforming girls in recent years. Chronic absenteeism, while improving from a peak of 43.7% a few years ago, still affects about one in five students—a rate lower than the district and state averages but still significant. Additionally, the school spends considerably more per student ($17,677) than nearby schools like Chippewa Hills Middle School ($13,977) or Pine River Area Middle School, yet this higher investment doesn't consistently translate into higher overall test scores compared to those peers. In short, Evart Middle School is a school showing real progress, particularly for its most vulnerable students, but it still has work to do to close internal gaps and ensure its substantial resources lead to broad-based gains for all learners.
