Summary

Crossroads Middle School, part of Northview Public Schools in Grand Rapids, MI, serves 472 students in grades 7 and 8 and has earned a solid 4-star rating, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Crossroads stands out for achieving strong academic results despite serving a more economically diverse student body than its highest-performing neighbors. While 33.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch—compared to just 13-18% at nearby Forest Hills Public Schools—Crossroads' test scores are much closer to those affluent schools than to the Grand Rapids Public Schools buildings nearby. For example, 77.5% of Crossroads 8th graders were proficient in ELA on the PSAT, compared to 88.8% at Northern Hills Middle School and 93% at Eastern Middle School, but a stark contrast to the 14.7-58% range at GRPS schools. The school shows particular strength in 8th-grade Science (47.9% proficient) and Social Studies (64.4%), both well above state averages and surpassing nearby Kenowa Hills Middle School and Mill Creek Middle School. One area to watch: 7th-grade ELA proficiency dropped from 52% to 38.3% year-over-year, now sitting right at the state average.

Chronic absenteeism remains a persistent challenge, with 24.6% of students chronically absent—more than double the rate at Eastern Middle School (11.0%) and Northern Hills Middle School (11.1%). Crossroads spends about $15,374 per student, which is more than the Forest Hills schools but far less than GRPS schools like Westwood Middle School ($27,247) and Riverside Middle School ($28,079), yet achieves far better outcomes. The school has shown a remarkable ability to support its African American students, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, though maintaining consistent high achievement across all demographic groups remains an ongoing challenge. Overall, Crossroads occupies a strong middle ground in a highly varied educational landscape—performing solidly above state averages and significantly better than nearby GRPS schools, while not quite reaching the elite levels of Forest Hills.
