Summary

Beer Middle School in Warren, MI, is a public school serving 665 students in grades 6-8 within the Warren Consolidated Schools district, where about 71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Beer Middle School stands out as a resilient and effective school, particularly for its work with students from low-income backgrounds. The school ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide for academic performance among low socio-economic status students—a remarkable achievement that outpaces its overall state ranking in the 58th percentile. This means Beer is significantly more successful at educating economically disadvantaged students than the average Michigan school is at educating its general population. The school also consistently outperforms its own district average across most subjects and grade levels. For example, 6th-grade ELA proficiency is 40.4% compared to the district's 33.8%, and 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency reaches 55.3% versus the district's 50.1%. This pattern of success is especially notable when compared to nearby schools serving similar demographics: Lincoln Middle School and PD Chatterton Middle School both rank in the 12th and 22nd percentiles respectively, while Beer achieves a 58th percentile ranking.

Despite these strengths, Beer faces real challenges. Chronic absenteeism sits at 35.2%, above the state average of 27.9%, though it has improved from 40.1% two years ago. Mathematics is a clear area for growth, with proficiency rates in 6th and 7th-grade math (26% and 27.2%) and 8th-grade PSAT math (26.9%) all below state averages. There is also a notable gender gap, with female students ranking in the 59th percentile compared to males in the 49th percentile. On a positive note, Beer achieves these results while spending $14,902 per student—less than nearby Grissom Middle School ($16,486) and Carter Middle School ($15,874)—demonstrating efficient resource use. For parents, Beer Middle School offers a solid, mid-tier education with exceptional support for low-income students, though families should be aware of the math challenges and attendance concerns.

Open Quote If your child has a problem with bullying and goes to report it, they will be called a tattle-tale. Also, self defense is apparently worthy of suspension. None of the staff cares about the students, and academics are treated as a joke. Horrible school experience. Close Quote
