Bath Elementary School

Summary:

Bath Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bath, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 439. The school is part of the Bath Community Schools district, which is ranked 209 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Bath Elementary School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Whitehills Elementary and Murphy Elementary, which consistently outperform Bath Elementary across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Bath Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.4% in 2019-2020 to 40.1% in 2021-2022, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.

One interesting finding is that Bath Elementary School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school's Hispanic students consistently outperform their peers, ranking 31st out of 201 Michigan elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's White students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds tend to perform below the state and district averages. This suggests that the school may need to identify and address the specific needs of these underperforming subgroups to improve overall academic achievement.

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.
