Summary:
The Byron Area Schools district in Michigan has one elementary school, Byron Area Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 92.36% of students identifying as white, and a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 56.69% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, the school's performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in English Language Arts and Math, while others fall below. For example, 4th-grade students outperformed the state average in both subjects, but 3rd-grade and 5th-grade students struggled, particularly in Math. The school also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which could be contributing to the academic challenges. Despite these areas for improvement, the school's spending per student is above the state average, suggesting a focus on providing adequate resources for student learning and development.
Overall, Byron Area Elementary School has both strengths and areas for growth. While the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, it could benefit from addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring more consistent academic performance across all grade levels. With targeted interventions and a continued commitment to supporting student success, the school has the potential to improve outcomes for its diverse student body.
