Bentley Middle School's student performance is a concern, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools over the past three years. The school's SchoolDigger rating of 1-2 stars out of 5 indicates that it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Proficiency rates on state assessments, such as M-STEP and PSAT, are alarmingly low, with only 11.6% of 6th graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.6%.
The school's high concentration of students from low-income families, with 77.85% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the challenges it faces in improving student outcomes. While the school's per-student spending of $14,580 is relatively high, the student-teacher ratio of 15.8 is slightly higher than the state average, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement.
