Elementary Schools in Onsted Community Schools

Onsted Community Schools has one elementary school, Onsted Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in the small town of Onsted, Michigan, the school faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and below-average performance in certain subject areas compared to state averages.

Onsted Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 88.61% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-STEP test scores, is mixed, with proficiency rates below the state average in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and 4th grade Math, but above the state average in 5th grade English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 50.47%, suggests that it may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and achievement.

While Onsted Elementary has some areas of strength, such as its higher-than-average per-student funding and low student-teacher ratio, the school's overall performance has declined in recent years, dropping from 732 out of 1,344 Michigan elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 728 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may need additional support and resources to improve student outcomes and better serve the Onsted Community Schools district.
