Summary:
The New Haven Community Schools district in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Endeavour Elementary and Middle School and New Haven Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the same district, the data analysis reveals that Endeavour Elementary and Middle School is the standout performer, consistently outpacing its counterpart and the state averages in academic achievement.
Endeavour Elementary and Middle School boasts higher test scores across various subjects and grade levels, with 43.8% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 32.1% for the New Haven Community Schools district and 39.6% for the state. Additionally, Endeavour has maintained a stronger state ranking, ranging from 411th to 716th out of over 1,400 Michigan elementary schools, while New Haven Elementary School has ranked between 590th and 948th.
Despite the significant difference in spending per student, with New Haven Elementary School spending $15,462 per student compared to $9,857 per student at Endeavour, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, may be driving the performance gap between the two schools. Additionally, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, an area that the New Haven Community Schools district may need to address to support student learning and achievement.
