Lakeland Elementary School

Summary:

Lakeland Elementary School is a public magnet school serving grades 4-5 in Coldwater, Michigan, with a student population of 373. The school is part of the Coldwater Community Schools district, which is ranked 347 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lakeland Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other elementary schools in the Coldwater district, such as Jefferson Elementary and Larsen Elementary, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in neighboring districts, like Jennings Elementary in Quincy Community Schools. Lakeland Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.8% in 2020-2021 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Lakeland Elementary's performance on subgroup metrics is mixed, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but White students and English Language Learners performing poorly. The school has also seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $9,632 in 2019-2020 to $13,030 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, but this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve student attendance and learning, particularly for underperforming 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.
