Summary:
Carrollton Public Schools has only one elementary school, Carrollton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 688 students. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Carrollton Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by M-STEP proficiency rates, is significantly below the state averages in all subject areas and grade levels. For example, 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency is 23.4% compared to the Michigan average of 40.9%, and 5th grade Math proficiency is 11.6% compared to the state average of 31.5%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 41.6% is also very high, indicating that a significant portion of the student population is missing a substantial amount of instructional time.
The high free/reduced lunch rate of 82.99% suggests that Carrollton Public Schools serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement and access to resources. While the school's spending per student of $15,474 is higher than the state average, it's unclear if this funding is being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes.
