Barhitte Elementary School

Summary:

Barhitte Elementary School is a public elementary school in Burton, Michigan, serving 312 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bentley Community School District, which is ranked 487 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Barhitte Elementary stands out for several reasons. It has a higher percentage of White students (66.03%) compared to nearby schools like Pierce School (76.32% African American) and Freeman School (63.41% African American). Barhitte also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 61.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than Hill Elementary (9.0%) and Gates Elementary (18.1%). Academically, Barhitte's M-Step proficiency rates are consistently lower than the state and district averages, with only 19.6% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $14,119 at Barhitte Elementary, the school's academic performance remains low, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The school also serves a student population with a high percentage (over 86%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and exploring how resources are being utilized could be crucial steps in improving student outcomes at Barhitte Elementary, which faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools in the Davison Community Schools 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.
