Mark Twain Elementary School

Summary:

Mark Twain Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roseville, Michigan, serving around 340 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Fraser Public Schools district.

While Mark Twain has a higher percentage of White students (72.65%) compared to nearby schools, it also has a larger proportion of students from low-income families, with 59.71% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is higher than the nearby schools, which range from 53.33% to 81.02% free/reduced lunch. Notably, Mark Twain has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.4% in 2018-2019 to 31.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the 18.0% to 50.3% range of nearby schools. Additionally, the school's test scores, while generally higher than the district and state averages, have been declining, with the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts dropping from 32.7% in 2021-2022 to 23.9% in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Joseph G Steenland Elementary School, Thomas A Edison Elementary School, and Black Elementary School, it becomes evident that Mark Twain is performing below its peers in several key areas, including test scores and chronic absenteeism. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school and ensure the success of its diverse 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.
