Buckley Community Schools

Summary:

Buckley Community Schools is an alternative public school serving 478 students in grades PK-12 in the small town of Buckley, Michigan. The school has a predominantly white student body, with over 94% of students identifying as white. While the school performs better than some nearby alternative schools, it faces several challenges, including low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and fluctuating graduation and dropout rates.

Buckley Community Schools' four-year graduation rate has ranged from a high of 92.8% in 2020-2021 to a low of 82.3% in 2019-2020, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 0% and 3.4% in recent years.

Buckley Community Schools' test scores, as measured by the M-Step and SAT assessments, are generally lower than the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas.

When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as North EdBridgeway, North EdCreekside School, and North EdNew Horizons, Buckley Community Schools generally performs better in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores.

Buckley Community Schools has seen an increase in its per-student spending, from $9,272 in 2019-2020 to $11,963 in 2022-2023, which could be an opportunity to invest in strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
