Summary

Middle School North is a public school in Macomb, MI, serving 618 students in grades 6-8 as part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district. The school currently holds a 4-star rating, ranking in the 71st percentile of Michigan middle schools—a solid, above-average performance that places it as the strongest middle school in its district.

Academically, Middle School North shines brightest in 8th grade, where 78.5% of students scored proficient on the PSAT English Language Arts exam—well above the state average of 64.8%—and 56% reached proficiency in Social Studies. However, math scores lag behind reading across all grade levels, and 6th grade ELA proficiency dropped sharply from 45.1% to 33.9% in the most recent year, a decline worth asking the school about. The school also demonstrates notable success with its African American students, who rank in the 76th percentile statewide, and female students outperform their male peers. Special education services remain the most significant area of concern, though the school has shown dramatic improvement from a 7th percentile ranking to the 42nd percentile in just one year.

Compared to nearby schools, Middle School North outperforms its district peers like Middle School East and Middle School Central, and far exceeds Middle School South. However, it trails Iroquois Middle School and Seneca Middle School in the Chippewa Valley Schools district, which achieve higher rankings while spending less per student. One key differentiator: 26.9% of Middle School North students are chronically absent, notably higher than Iroquois (19.0%) and Middle School East (20.3%). Given the strong link between attendance and achievement, improving daily attendance may be the single most impactful way for this school to close the gap with its highest-performing neighbors.
