Bailey Lake Elementary School

Summary:

Bailey Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Clarkston, Michigan, serving 495 students in grades K-5 and part of the Clarkston Community School District, which is ranked 105 out of 610 school districts in the state.

Bailey Lake Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with 66.7% of 3rd graders, 61.6% of 4th graders, and 63.3% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 57.9%, 57.4%, and 61%, and the state's 39.6%, 43.3%, and 44%. The school also ranks highly for the performance of its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations. Additionally, Bailey Lake has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and spends more per student ($14,676) than the state and district averages, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools like Webber School, Bailey Lake Elementary generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, student-teacher ratio, and spending per student. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, which is not representative of the racial diversity seen in many other Michigan schools, and there may be opportunities to further improve in areas such as reducing chronic absenteeism and ensuring continued academic growth for all student subgroups.

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.
