Summary:
The Colon Community School District in Michigan has only one elementary school, Colon Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance is consistently well below the state averages, with proficiency rates in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Math significantly lagging behind the Michigan benchmarks. Additionally, the school's ranking and rating have been declining over the past few years, indicating a worsening performance relative to other schools in the state.
Colon Elementary School has a student population of 242, with a racial makeup of 94.21% White, 2.89% African American, and 1.24% Hispanic. The school has a high rate of economic disadvantage, with 55.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's academic challenges, it appears to have adequate funding and resources, with a relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio of 15:1.
The data suggests that the issues at Colon Elementary School are systemic and may require a comprehensive approach to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's consistently low academic performance. While the school has the resources to support student learning, the data indicates that the school is struggling to effectively utilize those resources to improve student outcomes. Addressing the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population may be a key factor in improving the school's performance and providing a high-quality education to all students in the Colon Community School District.
