Summary:
The 48813 zip code area in Michigan is home to two middle schools - Charlotte Upper Elementary School and Charlotte Middle School. Both schools serve students in grades 5-8 and are part of the Charlotte Public Schools district.
While Charlotte Middle School is a public magnet school, both schools perform below state and district averages in academic proficiency, particularly in math. Charlotte Upper Elementary has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 53.02%, indicating a relatively high-need student population. Interestingly, Charlotte Middle School has higher per-student spending but does not seem to translate to better outcomes. A concerning statistic for both schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, which likely impacts academic performance.
Overall, the data suggests opportunities for improvement in curriculum, instruction, and support for students at these middle schools. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and improving proficiency levels should be key priorities for the district. It would also be valuable to explore any unique programs or initiatives at Charlotte Middle School as a public magnet school and whether those are having a positive impact on student learning and engagement.
