Summary:
The Bellaire Public Schools district in Michigan has only one elementary school, John R Rodger Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 94.69% of students identifying as white, and a relatively high percentage of students (48.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, John R Rodger Elementary School's performance is mixed. While 3rd-grade students perform above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, 4th and 5th-grade students struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state averages, particularly in Math. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate, however, is above the state average. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 and high spending of $24,034 per student, it faces a significant challenge with a chronic absenteeism rate of 27.9%, which is considerably higher than the state average.
Overall, the data suggests that while John R Rodger Elementary School has some strengths, such as its 3rd-grade academic performance and 5th-grade Science proficiency, it also faces significant challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across grade levels and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate among its students. These findings highlight the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to support the school's efforts to provide a high-quality education for all its students.
