Napoleon Community Schools

The Napoleon Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance across the district, with Ezra Eby Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while Ackerson High School struggles with low test scores, graduation rates, and high dropout rates.

Ezra Eby Elementary stands out with its consistently high test scores, outperforming the district and state in most subject areas. In contrast, Napoleon Middle School lags behind in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, and Ackerson High School has significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state. The data suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Ackerson High School, may contribute to the performance disparities.

The resource allocation within the district also appears to be a factor, with Ackerson High School having the lowest per-student spending and the highest student-teacher ratio, which could be hindering its academic performance. Chronic absenteeism is another area of concern, particularly at Napoleon Middle School and Ackerson High School, which may require targeted interventions to improve student engagement and attendance.
