CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School

Summary:

CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Carsonville, Michigan, with a student population of 168. The school is part of the Carsonville-Port Sanilac School District, which is ranked 177 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with 3rd and 4th grade scores close to or above the state averages, 5th grade scores lag behind, particularly in Math and Social Studies. The school also faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.2%, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Peck Community Elementary (21.8%) and Deckerville Elementary (18.9%). Additionally, CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 73.21% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the nearby Meyer Elementary (50.31%) and Frostick School (66.57%).

Despite the school's increased per-student spending, rising from $10,903 in 2019-2020 to $15,995 in 2022-2023, the results have been mixed, as the school's test scores and rankings have remained relatively stagnant or declined. This suggests the need for a more comprehensive strategy to address the unique challenges faced by CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School and its student population.

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.
