Summary

Fruitport Middle School, part of the Fruitport Community Schools district, serves 615 students in grades 6-8 and has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 47th to the 65th percentile in statewide rankings.

One of the most notable strengths at Fruitport Middle is its exceptional performance with Hispanic students, who now rank in the 88th percentile statewide—a dramatic jump from just two years prior. The school also consistently beats state averages in 8th-grade Science and Social Studies, with 57.7% proficiency in Social Studies compared to the state's 50.3%. When compared to demographically similar schools, Fruitport stands out: Mona Shores Middle School has a nearly identical free/reduced lunch rate (52.15% vs. 49.76%), yet Fruitport outperforms it in almost every subject and grade level tested. The school has also made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from a peak of 45.5% in 2021-2022 to just 21.1%—well below the state average of 27.9% and better than nearby ReethsPuffer Middle School (29.2%) and Orchard View Middle School (35.2%).

However, there are areas of concern. While Hispanic students thrive, Special Education students rank in the bottom 20% statewide, a decline from a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. Additionally, while 8th-grade PSAT English Language Arts scores are strong (69.5% proficient vs. 64.8% statewide), PSAT Math scores (33.5%) barely match the state average, suggesting math may be a relative weakness heading into high school. On the financial side, Fruitport spends $14,327 per student—comparable to ReethsPuffer Intermediate School ($13,891) and Mona Shores ($14,056)—but significantly less than schools like White Pines Intermediate School ($19,630) that achieve lower results. This suggests the district is using its resources efficiently. Overall, Fruitport Middle occupies a strong middle position in the local landscape, outperforming schools with higher poverty rates while remaining competitive with more affluent neighboring districts.
