Edmonson Montessori

Q: Is Edmonson Montessori a good school?

Edmonson Montessori ranks 687 th of 1486 Michigan elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Edmonson Montessori is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Detroit, Michigan, with a student population of 192 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite being part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which is ranked 563 out of 610 districts in the state, Edmonson Montessori stands out as a relatively high-performing school.

Edmonson Montessori outperforms the district and the state of Michigan in proficiency rates across multiple grade levels and subject areas on the M-Step assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, 41.4% of 3rd graders at Edmonson Montessori were proficient in ELA, compared to just 11.7% for the district and 39.6% for the state. The school's strong performance extends to its African American student population, ranking 30th out of 348 Michigan elementary schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, Edmonson Montessori's female students and low socioeconomic status students perform significantly better than their peers at the school, ranking 390th and 677th out of 1,342 and 1,381 Michigan elementary schools, respectively, in 2023-2024.

While Edmonson Montessori's academic achievements are impressive, the school's chronic absenteeism rate remains an area of concern, fluctuating between 10.1% and 39.8% over the past few years. This is still higher than the state average, and the 2022-2023 rate of 25.9% suggests more work is needed in this area. Interestingly, Edmonson Montessori outperforms nearby schools like Thirkell ElementaryMiddle School and Burton International Academy on academic measures, despite those schools having much higher chronic absenteeism rates. This may be due in part to Edmonson Montessori's relatively high per-student spending and smaller class sizes, which could provide the school with more resources and a more favorable learning environment.

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.
