Summary:
Lamphere Public Schools in Michigan has a single middle school, Page Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with over 30% of students identifying as non-white. While Page Middle School's academic performance is generally on par with the district average and exceeds the state-wide average in many areas, it faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.6% and a relatively large proportion of students (53.79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Page Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science are comparable to the district and state averages, but its Mathematics proficiency rates lag behind, with only 26.1% to 27.9% of students proficient or better, compared to 31% to 32.1% statewide. The school's PSAT performance also shows a similar pattern, with ELA proficiency exceeding the state average but Mathematics proficiency falling short. These academic metrics suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its Mathematics instruction and support for students in this subject area.
Despite the challenges, Lamphere Public Schools appears to be allocating significant resources to Page Middle School, with a spending per student of $16,929 for the 2022-2023 school year. This level of funding suggests a commitment to providing a quality education, and the school's overall performance, while not exceptional, is generally on par with or better than the state average. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and targeting support for Mathematics instruction could be areas of focus to further improve student outcomes at Page Middle School.
