Maples Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (98.43%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average. The school has also seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.4% in 2018-2019 to 29.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. Academically, Maples Elementary School generally performs better than the Dearborn City School District and the state average in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, but its performance in Science and Social Studies for 5th grade is significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 90.77% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools and the state average.

While Maples Elementary School has some strengths, such as its performance in core academic subjects, it also faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, racial homogeneity, and weaknesses in certain subject areas. The school's high poverty levels and increased spending per student suggest that it is investing resources to support student learning, but the impact of these investments on academic outcomes should be further examined. Addressing these issues could help the school better serve its students and improve educational outcomes.

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.
