Summary:
The city of Ray, Michigan is home to a single school, Endeavour Elementary and Middle School, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 499 students. Endeavour is part of the New Haven Community Schools district, which is ranked 314 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Endeavour Elementary and Middle School appears to be a relatively strong performer academically, with proficiency rates that exceed the district and state averages in several key subject areas and grade levels. The school's 3rd-7th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates, as well as its 3rd, 4th, and 6th-7th grade math proficiency rates, are consistently higher than the New Haven Community Schools district and the state of Michigan averages. Additionally, Endeavour's 8th grade PSAT ELA proficiency rate of 66.7% is significantly higher than the district (66.3%) and state (64.5%) averages, and the school's 5th and 8th grade science proficiency rates are also above the district and state levels.
While Endeavour has a diverse student population, with 72.55% White, 17.23% African American, and 3.61% Hispanic students, the school also faces some challenges. The school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.6% for the 2022-2023 school year, and nearly half (46.29%) of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic need within the community. However, the school's strong academic performance, particularly in comparison to the district and state, suggests that it is providing a quality education to its students despite these challenges.
