Eugene B Elliott Elementary School

Summary:

Eugene B Elliott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Westland, Michigan, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Wayne-Westland Community School District. The school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and potential racial disparities in student outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools in the district, such as Alexander Hamilton Elementary School and TaftGalloway Elementary School, Eugene B Elliott Elementary School consistently performs worse academically. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school also has a higher percentage of African American (37.67%) and Hispanic (9.14%) students, suggesting potential racial disparities in academic achievement.

Another major concern is the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.6% in 2020-2021 to 63% in 2022-2023, which are significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Despite the district's increased spending per student at Eugene B Elliott Elementary, from $12,908 in 2019-2020 to $23,379 in 2022-2023, the academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, indicating that the resources may not be effectively targeted to address the specific needs of the school and its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
