Middle Schools in Harper Creek Community Schools

The Harper Creek Community Schools district in Michigan has only one middle school, Harper Creek Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's student population is predominantly White (82.01%), and nearly half (47.24%) of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Academically, Harper Creek Middle School's performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 28.4% to 40%, compared to the state averages of 37.5% to 44%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 30.4% to 40.7%, compared to the state averages of 31% to 32.6%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.3%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.

Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student of $13,657 in the 2022-2023 school year suggests that it has access to a reasonable level of resources to support student learning and school operations. The school also maintains a student-teacher ratio of 16.6, which is a relevant metric for understanding the level of individual attention and support available to students. Overall, the data indicates that Harper Creek Middle School faces some academic and demographic hurdles, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the school's outcomes.
