Summary

Haslett Middle School, part of the highly-ranked Haslett Public Schools district in the Lansing-East Lansing area, serves 660 students in grades 6-8 and has earned a 5-star rating for the past decade, placing it in the 93rd percentile of Michigan middle schools.

Academically, Haslett is a standout performer, with proficiency rates that dramatically exceed state averages across all subjects. For example, 6th-grade math proficiency is 59.5% compared to the state's 31.9%, and 8th-grade social studies proficiency is 76.5% versus the state's 50.3%. The school shows a particular strength in mathematics, surpassing nearby top-tier schools like Chippewa Middle School (Okemos) and Williamston Middle School in 6th-grade math. Haslett's 8th-grade PSAT English Language Arts scores (88.8% proficient) also rival the best in the area. This high performance is consistent across grade levels and for both male and female students, who rank in the top 10% statewide. The school achieves these results without outsized spending—its per-student budget of $13,655 is mid-range compared to peers—suggesting effective instructional practices within a well-managed district.

While Haslett's overall academics are elite, two areas warrant attention. First, chronic absenteeism is notably high at 24.0%, significantly above comparable schools like DeWitt Middle School (13.6%) and Chippewa Middle School (14.7%). Second, despite strong overall results, the school shows achievement gaps for certain student groups, with performance for some subgroups ranking below the school's overall percentile. The school's support for special education students has also been inconsistent year-to-year. For parents, Haslett offers an excellent, rigorous education—especially in math—but it's worth asking the school about attendance initiatives and how they ensure all students, regardless of background, receive the support needed to thrive.
