Summary

St Johns Middle School is a public middle school located in Saint Johns, Michigan, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 594 students. The school is part of the St. Johns Public Schools district, which is ranked 100 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

St Johns Middle School consistently ranks in the top 20% of Michigan middle schools, with strong academic performance across various subject areas. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are 10-20 percentage points above the state averages, and it outperforms most nearby middle schools like East Intermediate, Leon W Hayes Intermediate, and Sheridan Road. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 17.0% in 2020-2021 to 30.8% in 2022-2023, which is an area the school should focus on improving.

St Johns Middle School serves a relatively more economically advantaged student population compared to some of the surrounding schools, with a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.6 is slightly higher than nearby schools, which could be an area for the school to explore as a lower ratio may contribute to better student outcomes. Overall, St Johns Middle School is a high-performing middle school, but the increasing chronic absenteeism and performance gaps for certain student subgroups are areas that warrant further attention and improvement.
