Summary:
The city of Columbiaville, Michigan has a single elementary school, Columbiaville Elementary School, which serves students from the LakeVille Community School District. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism issues.
Columbiaville Elementary School is ranked 998 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This ranking has been declining over the past few years, going from 1,009 out of 1,470 schools in 2022-2023 to 1,039 out of 1,344 schools in 2021-2022. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step proficiency rates, is below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math for both 3rd and 4th grades, indicating a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
With 65.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Columbiaville Elementary School serves a high-poverty student population, which can present unique challenges and may require additional resources and support to address the needs of these students. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.1% is relatively high, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism should be a priority for the school and district.
