Munger ElementaryMiddle School

Summary:

Munger ElementaryMiddle School is a public school in Detroit, Michigan, serving 968 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 6.61% White, 19.42% African American, and 73.55% Hispanic students.

Munger ElementaryMiddle School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.5% to 58.3%, which are much higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on M-Step and PSAT tests is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 12.5% to 24.7%, compared to the state averages of 37.5% to 44%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students lagging behind their peers.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Harms Elementary School, Priest ElementaryMiddle School, and Academy of the Americas at Logan, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Munger ElementaryMiddle School are not unique and may be indicative of broader systemic issues within the Detroit Public Schools Community District. Despite the high per-student spending, Munger ElementaryMiddle School's academic performance has not shown significant improvement over the years, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's strategies and the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues.

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.
