Dailey Elementary School

Summary:

Dailey Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mount Morris, Michigan, serving grades PK-7 with a student population of 312. The school is part of the Mt. Morris Consolidated Schools district and has a predominantly African American student body, with 88.46% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year.

Dailey Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.2% in 2019-2020 to 80.4% in 2021-2022, which are much higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Moore Elementary (31.7%) and Montague Elementary (30.2%). Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 12.8% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%. Dailey Elementary School also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 96.47% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $20,464 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools like Moore Elementary ($12,868) and Montague Elementary ($12,948), the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for its students.

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.
