Cedar View Elementary School

Summary:

Cedar View Elementary School is a public school in Cedar Springs, Michigan, serving 455 students in grades 4-5. The school is part of the Cedar Springs Public Schools district, which is ranked 138 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Cedar View has some notable strengths, including higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state. The school's Hispanic students, in particular, have performed exceptionally well, ranking 7th out of 188 Michigan elementary schools. However, Cedar View also faces challenges, such as a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which is notably higher than nearby Cedar Trails Elementary and Beach Elementary schools. Additionally, the school's special education students have struggled, ranking 181st out of 195 Michigan elementary schools.

To address these issues, Cedar View should investigate the causes of the high chronic absenteeism and implement targeted interventions to improve student attendance. The school should also leverage the success of its Hispanic students to understand the factors contributing to their achievement and potentially apply those strategies to other subgroups, such as special education students. Additionally, the school should evaluate its staffing model and instructional practices to ensure it is optimizing resources and providing personalized support to meet the needs of all students.

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.
