Summary

Kenneth T Beagle Middle School is a public middle school located in Grand Ledge, Michigan, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 840 students. The school is part of the Grand Ledge Public Schools district, which is ranked 141 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kenneth T Beagle Middle School consistently ranks in the top 15-20% of Michigan middle schools, with its students performing significantly higher than the state averages on state assessments across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 7th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 53.4% compared to the state average of 39.2%. The school's performance is also consistently better than the district average, indicating that it is a high-performing school within the Grand Ledge Public Schools system. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 21.1% in 2021-2022 to 30.8% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Charlotte Upper Elementary School and Sheridan Road Middle School are both lower-performing, while the highly-ranked DeWitt Middle School is within a reasonable distance. Additionally, the school's strong performance for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups is noteworthy, but the relatively lower performance for the Asian and special education student subgroups suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of these student populations.
