The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (75.62%) compared to the 50.27% to 63.41% range at nearby schools. DoyleRyder also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 63.9% to 81.2%, much higher than the 42.0% to 83.0% range at nearby schools. Academically, DoyleRyder's performance on M-Step tests is consistently lower than the Flint School District and Michigan state averages, with only 10.8% of 3rd-graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 9% for the district and 40.9% for the state.

Despite the high level of economic disadvantage, with 92.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, DoyleRyder School has relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $15,580 to $23,243 over the past few years. However, this has not translated into improved academic performance, as the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Michigan. The school's challenges, including high chronic absenteeism and low test scores, suggest that it may require targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique needs of its predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
