Summary:
The LakeVille Community School District in Michigan has only one elementary school, Columbiaville Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-4. The school faces some academic and socioeconomic challenges, with lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to state averages, as well as a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Columbiaville Elementary School's proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year were 32.9% for 3rd grade and 27.9% for 4th grade in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 39.6% and 43.3%, respectively. In Math, the school's proficiency rates were 42.5% for 3rd grade and 20.6% for 4th grade, compared to state averages of 43.4% and 39.1%. The school's performance has been consistently lower than the state averages in both subjects over the past two school years. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.1%.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (65.08%) at Columbiaville Elementary School suggests that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. The school district spent $14,178 per student at Columbiaville Elementary School in the 2022-2023 school year, and the school had a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 to 1. Further investigation into the underlying factors and potential strategies to address these challenges could be beneficial for the school and the district.
