Summary

Galesburg-Augusta Middle School in Augusta, MI, serves 302 students in grades 5 through 8 as part of the Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools district, a rural district in southwestern Michigan that currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 38th percentile statewide.

One of the most striking patterns at this school is the "5th-grade advantage" that fades as students progress. In the most recent school year, 5th graders outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (52.3% vs. 43.8%), math (36% vs. 32.2%), and science (44.2% vs. 40%). In fact, that 5th-grade ELA score was the highest among all comparable nearby schools, even surpassing the high-performing Gull Lake Middle School. However, by 7th grade, ELA proficiency drops to just 23% and math to 16.2%—well below state averages. This decline is more pronounced than at neighboring schools like Harper Creek Middle School or Lakeview Middle School, suggesting a challenge in sustaining academic growth through the middle school years. Math remains a consistent weak spot across all grade levels, with 8th-grade PSAT math proficiency at 23.9% compared to the state's 33.2%.

Chronic absenteeism is another area of concern, with 32.6% of students missing significant school time—higher than the state average of 27.9% and well above Harper Creek Middle School's 10.4% rate. This has been a persistent issue over the past five years. On a positive note, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch dropped dramatically from 54.8% to 41.4% in one year, coinciding with a slight improvement in the school's overall ranking. While the school trails the nearby Gull Lake Middle School (81st percentile) in nearly every metric, its per-student spending of $16,873 sits in the middle of the pack—higher than Gull Lake's $12,612 but lower than Comstock Middle School's $28,682—indicating that outcomes aren't simply tied to funding levels.
