Summary:
The city of Sand Lake, Michigan is home to a single public elementary school, Sand Lake Elementary School, which serves grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 392 students. The school's student population is predominantly white (88.78%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, Native American, Asian, and African American students.
Academically, Sand Lake Elementary School's performance on the M-Step assessments is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school performs better than the state in 4th-grade English Language Arts, it lags behind in several other grade levels and subject areas, including Math, Science, and Social Studies. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges. Additionally, a high percentage of students (64.54%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school serves a relatively low-income population, which may also impact academic outcomes.
Overall, with only one school in the data set, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons or identify standout schools in the Sand Lake area. Expanding the data set to include more schools in the region would provide a better context for analysis and help identify areas for improvement at Sand Lake Elementary School. The school's mixed academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors suggest potential challenges that the Tri County Area Schools district may need to address to support student success.
