Summary:
The Hamtramck School District of the City of Hamtramck, Michigan, is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from early childhood through 5th grade. This analysis provides key insights into the performance and characteristics of these schools, which serve a predominantly low-income student population.
Among the standout schools, Tau Beta School emerges as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across multiple grade levels. Additionally, Tau Beta School has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at 24.7%. In contrast, Holbrook School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, which may contribute to more personalized attention for students, and its higher-than-average 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts proficiency rate.
However, the data reveals significant challenges across the Hamtramck School District, with overall academic performance falling well below state averages in core subject areas. High chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.7% at Tau Beta School to 58.9% at Early Childhood Elementary School, are a major concern and can negatively impact student learning. Additionally, all schools in the district serve a high-need student population, with 86.73% to 94.09% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the need for targeted interventions and equitable resource allocation to support these students.
