Siple Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly among its low-income students. The school consistently outperforms the Davison Community Schools district and the state of Michigan in M-Step English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates for 3rd and 4th grade students. For example, in 2023-2024, Siple's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 59.2%, compared to 48.3% for the district and 39.6% for the state. Additionally, Siple's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 220 out of 1,381 Michigan elementary schools in 2023-2024, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school is effectively supporting and meeting the needs of its economically disadvantaged students.

However, Siple Elementary School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.4% in 2018-2019 to 22.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools, such as Hill Elementary School.

The school also has the highest spending per student ($14,617 in 2022-2023) compared to the other schools in the analysis, which may contribute to its academic success, but it is important to analyze how these funds are being utilized.

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.
