Summary:
The Carsonville-Port Sanilac School District has only one elementary school, CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 168 students. The school faces several challenges, including consistently low performance on state assessments, a high chronic absenteeism rate, and a student population with significant economic disadvantages.
CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School's test scores on the M-Step assessments are generally below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies. However, the school performs better than the state average in 3rd and 4th grade Math. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.2% is a concerning issue that may be impacting student learning and academic achievement. Additionally, a significant majority (73.21%) of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the student population.
Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which suggests the potential for more individualized attention and support for students. The school district also spends $15,995 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the small size of the school, with only 168 students, may present its own set of challenges in terms of access to resources and programming. The school and district leadership should prioritize addressing the academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic needs of the students to improve the overall educational outcomes for the community.
