Despite the school's diverse student population and consistent academic underperformance, it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.3%. The school's low ranking of 1038 out of 1486 Michigan elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that the school has been struggling to improve its overall performance over the past few years. Addressing the root causes of the school's academic challenges and high chronic absenteeism will be crucial for improving student outcomes and the school's standing in the community.
