Deckerville Elementary School

Summary:

Deckerville Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving around 298 students in grades PK-6 in the Deckerville Community School District in Deckerville, Michigan. The school has a predominantly White student population, with over 92% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year.

Deckerville Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in M-Step test scores across various grade levels and subjects, with 50% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 39.6% in 2023-2024. The school also performs well in math, with 45.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better compared to the state's 43.4%. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.8% in 2018-2019 to 18.9% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern. Deckerville Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.08% to 73.33% over the past three school years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Deckerville Elementary generally outperforms Peck Community Elementary School in test scores, but lags behind Frostick School and Ubly Community Elementary School, which are both higher-ranked schools in the state. Despite the lower per-student spending of $9,978 in 2022-2023 compared to the nearby schools, which range from $14,022 to $16,343 per student, Deckerville Elementary still manages to outperform the state average in test scores.

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.
