Dansville Elementary School

Summary:

Dansville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 347 students in grades PK-5 in Dansville, Michigan, which is part of the Mason Public Schools (Ingham) district. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.54%) compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges, including declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism.

Dansville Elementary School's test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies consistently lag behind state averages and the performance of nearby schools like Hiawatha Elementary School, Williamston Explorer Elementary School, and Alaiedon Elementary School. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also risen significantly, from 6.1% in 2017-2018 to 21.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and its neighboring schools.

Dansville Elementary School's performance challenges may be linked to its higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 37.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. The school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 575 out of 1,533 Michigan elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 888 out of 1,486 schools in 2023-2024, with a drop in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2 stars. Addressing these issues and learning from the success of higher-performing nearby schools could be crucial for improving educational outcomes at Dansville Elementary School.

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.
