Durant Tuuri Mott School

Summary:

Durant Tuuri Mott School is an elementary school located in Flint, Michigan, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 422. The school is part of the Flint School District, which is ranked 589 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Durant Tuuri Mott School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 70% to 76.9%), low academic performance with proficiency rates well below state averages, and a student population that is predominantly (76.78%) African American and economically disadvantaged (91.94% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). While the school's spending per student is relatively high, ranging from $16,891 to $22,159, this has not translated into improved educational outcomes. Nearby schools like Eisenhower School and Freeman School show slightly better performance in certain areas, suggesting that the challenges facing Durant Tuuri Mott School are not unique to the school but rather indicative of broader issues within the Flint School District.

The analysis of Durant Tuuri Mott School highlights the significant barriers to providing a quality education in the Flint area, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and significant socioeconomic disadvantages among the student population. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach that addresses not only funding and resources but also the underlying social, economic, and educational factors that contribute to the disparities observed in the data.

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.
