Carrollton Elementary School

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.

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.
