Coopersville South Elementary School

Summary:

Coopersville South Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Coopersville Area Public School District in Coopersville, Michigan, with a student population of 509 that is predominantly White.

Coopersville South Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on M-Step assessments, ranking in the top half of Michigan elementary schools. The school's Hispanic and White student subgroups perform particularly well, ranking 97th and 562nd, respectively, out of Michigan elementary schools. However, the school struggles with its Special Education and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Michigan schools for these groups. While Coopersville South Elementary performs better academically than some nearby schools, such as Beechnau Elementary in Ravenna, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Bauer Elementary in Hudsonville.

The school has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, from $9,350 in 2019-2020 to $13,488 in 2022-2023, which may have contributed to its academic performance. However, the school faces challenges with rising chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 6.2% in 2017-2018 to 16.0% in 2022-2023, and equity concerns for certain student subgroups, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have the resources they need to succeed.

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.
