Summary:
The Beaverton Schools district in Michigan has only one elementary school, Beaverton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 494 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces some challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement.
Academically, Beaverton Elementary School's proficiency rates on the M-Step tests are mixed compared to state averages, with some grades performing above the state average in subjects like Science, while others fall below in English Language Arts and Math. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.7% is also a significant concern, as it is closely linked to lower academic achievement and increased risk of dropout. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 66.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be influencing the school's effectiveness. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to help Beaverton Elementary School improve and better serve its community.
