Mt Clemens Montessori Academy

Summary:

Mt Clemens Montessori Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 269 students in grades PK-5 in Mount Clemens, Michigan. The school is part of the Mt. Clemens Montessori Academy District, which is ranked 135 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Mt Clemens Montessori Academy has demonstrated strong academic performance, ranking 424 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects generally exceed state averages. It has also performed particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as ranking 25 out of 321 Michigan elementary schools for African American students. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.4% in 2018-2019 to 28.9% in 2022-2023, which is an area the school may need to address.

Compared to nearby schools, Mt Clemens Montessori Academy generally outperforms its peers, though schools like Erie Elementary and Cherokee Elementary also demonstrate strong performance in certain areas. The school's high spending per student, at $10,111 in 2022-2023, and relatively low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its academic success, despite having a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch than some nearby schools.

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.
