Kosciuszko shows a mixed academic profile compared to nearby schools. In math, it outperforms several neighbors: 12.3% of 7th graders were proficient on the M-Step, beating Lincoln Middle School (10.2%), Hazel Park Junior High School (9.8%), and George Washington Carver Middle School (8.57%). In 8th-grade PSAT math, Kosciuszko's 12.8% proficiency is second only to the high-performing Oakland International Academy 28 (42.2%) and exceeds University Prep Science and Math Middle School (16%) and PD Chatterton Middle School (14%). The school's clearest strength is 8th-grade Social Studies, where 32.9% proficiency surpasses its district average (27.5%) and beats Lincoln Middle (29.8%), PD Chatterton (27.5%), and Hazel Park (22.5%). However, the school struggles significantly in serving Asian students, ranking in the bottom 1-5% statewide for that subgroup.

Attendance is a challenge but comparatively better than peers: Kosciuszko's chronic absenteeism rate of 41.8% is lower than Lincoln Middle (50.5%), PD Chatterton (46.1%), Hazel Park (58.1%), and Greenfield Union ElementaryMiddle School (64.5%). Encouragingly, the school shows a positive trajectory, climbing from the 8th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026. Social Studies proficiency jumped from 8.3% in 2022-2023 to 32.9% in 2025-2026, and 7th-grade ELA rose from 20.4% to 28.9%. Notably, Blackwell Institute, a nearby Detroit school with 96.74% poverty, achieves dramatically higher math scores (38.46% in 7th grade), demonstrating that high-poverty schools can succeed—suggesting Kosciuszko's gaps reflect school effectiveness, not student potential.
