Buchanan Elementary

Summary:

Buchanan Elementary is a public elementary school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving 359 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (86.91%) compared to the surrounding area and the state average, as well as its consistently low academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

Buchanan Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Michigan, with a statewide ranking between 1310 and 1452 out of 1486 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments (M-Step) is significantly below the Grand Rapids Public Schools district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Buchanan Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.3% in 2018-2019 to 26.4% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Buchanan Elementary to other nearby schools within the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, such as Grand Rapids Child Discovery Center, Cesar E Chavez Elementary, and Dickinson Academy, it becomes evident that Buchanan Elementary is consistently one of the lowest-performing schools in the district, both academically and in terms of student demographics and socioeconomic factors. The school's struggles are reflective of the broader challenges faced by many high-poverty, high-minority schools across the country, and addressing these issues will require targeted interventions and additional support to meet the unique needs of the Buchanan Elementary community.

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.
