Hutchinson ElementaryMiddle School

Summary:

Hutchinson ElementaryMiddle School is a public school in Detroit, Michigan, serving 329 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which is ranked 563 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hutchinson faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 49.2% to 78.5% over the past 5 years), significantly lower academic performance than state averages, and a very high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's statewide ranking among Michigan elementary schools has been consistently in the bottom 10-15% in recent years. In comparison, nearby charter schools like Detroit Merit Charter Academy, Detroit Enterprise Academy, and The James and Grace Lee Boggs School generally outperform Hutchinson on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

While Hutchinson's current performance is concerning, the school's middle grade configuration (PK-8) provides an opportunity to implement targeted interventions and support systems to help students succeed academically and socially throughout their elementary and middle school years. Addressing the deep-rooted challenges at Hutchinson will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving community partnerships, targeted interventions, and significant resource allocation by the Detroit Public Schools Community District.

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.
