Summary:
The Akron-Fairgrove Schools district in Michigan is home to a single elementary school, AkronFairgrove Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. This small school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science, where 5th-grade students outperform the state average by a significant margin.
AkronFairgrove Elementary School boasts a student population of 173, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (91.33%) and a smaller percentage of Hispanic students (5.78%). The school's proficiency rates on the M-Step assessments for English Language Arts and Math are generally higher than the state averages, and the school's per-student spending of $17,650 is also above the state average. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.2 is lower than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes that may contribute to the school's academic success.
However, the school faces a challenge with its chronic absenteeism rate, which at 21.9% is more than double the state's target of 10% or less. This high rate of chronic absenteeism could be an area of focus for the school and the Akron-Fairgrove Schools district to improve student engagement and attendance. Overall, AkronFairgrove Elementary School stands out as a strong performer academically, but the district as a whole is ranked 260 out of 606 districts in Michigan and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating there is room for improvement across the district.
