Summary

Riley Street Middle School in Hudsonville, MI, is a high-performing school serving 688 students in grades 6-8 within the Hudsonville Public School District, a district ranked in the top 4% statewide.

Riley Street consistently earns a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 10% of Michigan middle schools. Its standout strength is 8th-grade English Language Arts, where 87.7% of students scored proficient on the PSAT—well above the 81.6% at its district counterpart, Baldwin Street Middle School. The school also excels at supporting all learners: there is virtually no gender achievement gap, and its work with Multi-racial students ranks 17th in the state. Notably, the school has shown dramatic improvement for Hispanic students (jumping from the 61st to 75th percentile) and Special Education students (from the 55th to 78th percentile in just one year). Chronic absenteeism sits at 12.6%, less than half the state average of 27.9% and far better than nearby Jenison Junior High School (15.4%) or Grandville Middle School (17.1%).

While Riley Street is excellent, there are areas to watch. Math proficiency lags behind ELA—only 57% of 8th graders were proficient in math versus 87.7% in ELA—a gap slightly larger than the state average. The nearby Byron Center West Middle School posts higher scores in 7th-grade math (75.8% vs. 51.7%) and 8th-grade science (72.9% vs. 56.8%). Additionally, performance for students from low socio-economic backgrounds has dipped from the 92nd to 78th percentile over three years. On a positive note, Riley Street achieves its results efficiently, spending $13,371 per student—less than Byron Center West ($13,898), Jenison Junior High ($14,950), or Creekside Middle School ($15,464). The school also rebounded strongly from pandemic-era absenteeism, returning to pre-COVID attendance levels.
