Summary:
Jonesville Community Schools in Michigan has one middle school, Jonesville Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the Michigan state averages, particularly in math and science. Additionally, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a predominantly White student population, which may limit students' exposure to diverse perspectives.
Jonesville Middle School has an enrollment of 278 students, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (92.45%) and small percentages of Hispanic (2.52%) and students of two or more races (5.04%). The school's proficiency rates on the M-Step and PSAT assessments are below the state averages, with only 26.9% of 6th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 31%, and 19.5% of 8th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 32.6%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8% and a significant percentage of students (56.47%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Jonesville Community Schools is working to support its students and improve academic outcomes. The district's per-student spending of $12,441 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.1 to 1 suggest a commitment to providing resources and support to the school. However, the data suggests that Jonesville Middle School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic performance concerns, demographic homogeneity, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges faced by its students.
