Summary:
The Whitmore Lake Public School District has one elementary school, Whitmore Lake Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and has a total enrollment of 371 students. The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average while others underperform. Demographically, the school has a predominantly White student population (84.37%) and a relatively high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (46.63%), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Whitmore Lake Elementary School's performance on the M-Step assessments has fluctuated over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking ranging from 331 out of 1,470 schools in 2022-2023 to 538 out of 1,344 schools in 2021-2022. The school outperformed the state average in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts, as well as 5th grade Science and Social Studies, but underperformed in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math, and 6th grade English Language Arts and Math.
The school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.3% and per-student spending of $18,631 suggest areas for further investigation and potential improvement. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is lower than the state average, the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and strategies to address attendance and achievement gaps should be evaluated to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
