Miami Elementary School

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.

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.
