Summary

Vicksburg Middle School, part of Vicksburg Community Schools, serves 601 students in grades 6-8 and has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, placing it in the 79th percentile statewide.

What truly sets Vicksburg Middle apart from its neighbors is its remarkable success with students from low-income families. In the most recent school year, these students scored in the 91st percentile statewide—a dramatic jump from the 68th percentile just a year earlier. This is especially impressive when you consider that 32% of Vicksburg students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher rate than nearby Portage West Middle School or Portage Central Middle School (both around 17-19%). Despite this demographic difference, Vicksburg's test scores remain competitive with those Portage schools and far exceed schools in Kalamazoo, Comstock, and Parchment. For example, 8th-grade science proficiency sits at 54.4% (state average: 39.2%), and PSAT math proficiency is 50.8% (state average: 33.2%).

Vicksburg also stands out for keeping kids in class. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 15.6%, compared to the state average of 27.9% and a staggering 53.2% at Comstock Middle School. The school achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,079) than many lower-performing nearby schools—Comstock spends $28,682 and Three Rivers Middle School spends $26,667. One area of concern: special education students currently rank in the 26th percentile, a clear contrast to the school's overall strength. Still, for most families, Vicksburg Middle represents a high-achieving, efficiently run school that is getting exceptional results across the board.
