Summary:
The Fulton Schools district in Michigan has only one elementary school, Fulton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 262 students. While the school has above-average per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance lags behind state averages, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across grades 3-5.
Fulton Elementary School's student population is predominantly white, at 91.6%, with low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. The school also has a high percentage of students, 58.4%, who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge. This combination of demographic homogeneity and economic disadvantage may be contributing factors to the school's academic struggles, which are further exacerbated by a chronic absenteeism rate that exceeds the state average.
Despite the school's resource allocation, the data suggests that Fulton Elementary School is facing systemic challenges in providing quality education to its students. To address these issues, the school and district may need to explore targeted interventions, such as tailoring instructional strategies to meet the specific needs of the student population, implementing programs to improve attendance, and ensuring that resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement.
