Middle Schools in Farwell Area Schools

Farwell Area Schools in Michigan has a single middle school, Farwell Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance consistently below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Farwell Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, and its SchoolDigger rating has remained at 2 out of 5 stars during this time.

Enrollment at Farwell Middle School is 300 students, with a predominantly White student body (92.33%). However, the school serves a high-poverty population, with 68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles, which are further exacerbated by a chronic absenteeism rate of 28.1%, well above the state average.

Despite spending $14,928 per student, which is higher than the state average, Farwell Middle School has not been able to translate this investment into improved academic outcomes for its students. The school's challenges, including declining statewide ranking, low proficiency rates in core subjects, and high poverty and absenteeism rates, suggest that the Farwell Area Schools district may need to implement comprehensive strategies and interventions to address these issues and provide a higher-quality education for the students of Farwell Middle School.
