Summary:
Montague Area Public Schools in Michigan has one middle school, Nellie B Chisholm Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges in academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors that impact student learning.
Nellie B Chisholm Middle School's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.8%, which can negatively impact student learning. Additionally, nearly half (48.34%) of the students at the school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, the school does have some areas of strength, with students performing above the state average in subjects like Science and Social Studies. The school's spending per student is also higher than the state average, at $16,351 per student. However, the school's performance is generally aligned with the Montague Area Public Schools district, suggesting that the challenges and strengths of the school are reflective of the broader district, and that targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes.
