Summary:
Cassopolis Public Schools has one elementary school, Sam Adams Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school is located in Cassopolis, Michigan, a small community in the southwestern part of the state. Based on the available data, Sam Adams Elementary School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.
Academically, Sam Adams Elementary School's performance lags behind the state averages in Michigan across all grade levels and subject areas. In English Language Arts, only 20% of 3rd graders, 10.3% of 4th graders, and 23% of 5th graders are proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 39.6%, 43.3%, and 44%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also well below the state averages, with only 32.3% of 3rd graders, 11.9% of 4th graders, and 11.3% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding proficiency standards, compared to the state averages of 43.4%, 39.1%, and 32.6%. Additionally, the school's science and social studies proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages.
Other concerning factors include a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.9% and a large percentage of students (72.16%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's population. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $15,009, the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. Cassopolis Public Schools and the community will need to work together to address these issues and provide a better educational experience for the students at Sam Adams Elementary School.
