Middle Schools in Central DeWitt School District


Summary:

The Central DeWitt School District is home to two high-performing middle schools: Central DeWitt Intermediate School (grades 4-6) and Central DeWitt Middle School (grades 7-8). Both schools have consistently demonstrated strong academic achievement, with students scoring well above the state averages in core subject areas.

Central DeWitt Intermediate School stands out for its exceptional test scores, with 87.1% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a relatively affluent student population. Central DeWitt Middle School has maintained a high ranking within the state, with 8th-grade students excelling in ELA, Mathematics, and Science. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.9:1 indicates a strong focus on individualized attention.

Both schools benefit from equitable resource allocation, with higher-than-average spending per student and favorable student-teacher ratios. This suggests a commitment to providing a high-quality education for all students within the district. However, the predominantly white student population at both schools raises questions about the district's efforts to promote diversity and ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their background.
