Summary

Crossroads Middle School is a public middle school located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving 453 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Northview Public Schools district, which is ranked 207 out of 613 districts in the state.

Crossroads Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 30-40% of Michigan middle schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state and district averages. Crossroads also performs exceptionally well for its African American and White student subgroups, ranking in the top 20-25% of Michigan middle schools. Additionally, the school performs well for its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups, ranking in the top 25-30% of Michigan middle schools.

While Crossroads Middle School outperforms the nearby Highlands School, another Northview Public Schools middle school, it lags behind the high-performing Forest Hills Public Schools district, with schools like Eastern Middle School and Northern Hills Middle School significantly outperforming Crossroads on academic measures. The school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $11,224 to $17,616 over the past few years, may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance, but the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.1% to 41.0%, are a concern that the school may need to address.
