Summary:
Carrollton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Saginaw, Michigan, serving 688 students in grades PK-5 with a diverse student population. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
Carrollton Elementary School's academic performance is well below the state average in M-STEP assessments for English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies across grades 3-5. For example, in 2023-2024, only 16.7% of 3rd graders, 19.4% of 4th graders, and 22.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39.6%, 43.3%, and 44%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state, ranging from 8.4% to 20.6% across grades 3-5, compared to the state averages of 32.6% to 43.4%. Carrollton Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rate of 41.6% in 2022-2023 is also much higher than the state average.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Hemmeter Elementary School, a public magnet school in the Saginaw Township Community Schools district, Carrollton Elementary School consistently performs worse academically. However, the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform better relative to the state averages for those subgroups, suggesting that the school may have some effective strategies or programs in place to support these student populations. The school's high per-student spending of $15,474 in 2022-2023 and relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.3 indicate that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and staffing model to better support student learning.
