Summary:
Miami Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school located in Clinton Township, Michigan, serving 482 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district, which is ranked 221 out of 610 school districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Miami Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of African American (21.78%) and Hispanic (5.6%) students, it faces several challenges. The school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13.8% to 41.4% over the past few years, and its academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. In 2023-2024, Miami Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were below the district and state averages for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, and its performance in Social Studies was particularly low, with only 15.5% of 5th-grade students proficient compared to the district's 23.1% and the state's 18.9%.
While Miami Elementary's overall performance is lower than the district and state, its African American students have performed relatively well, ranking 61 out of 348 Michigan elementary schools for African American students in 2023-2024. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 678 out of 1,533 Michigan elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 699 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. This suggests a concerning trend, and the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (52.9% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may be a contributing factor. Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Erie Elementary, Cherokee Elementary, and Huron Elementary, generally perform better than Miami Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations and being part of the same school district.
