Summary:
The city of Dimondale, Michigan has only one school, Dimondale Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-4. This public school faces several challenges, including lower-than-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage.
Dimondale Elementary School's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math are consistently lower than the Holt Public Schools district and Michigan state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 39.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. Additionally, over 60% of Dimondale Elementary School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Dimondale Elementary School faces these challenges, the data suggests that targeted interventions and support could help address the areas of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges. Identifying and implementing effective strategies to improve these key metrics could be crucial for enhancing the educational outcomes for the students at this school and better serving the Dimondale community.
