Palmer School

Summary:

Palmer School is an elementary school located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving 178 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Palmer School has a diverse student population, it faces several challenges. The school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 54.0%, compared to the district average of 37.5% and the state average of 17.6%. Academically, Palmer School's performance on M-Step tests is lower than the district and state averages, with only 26.7% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 22.2% for the district and 39.6% for the state. Additionally, 84.83% of Palmer School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Palmer School to nearby schools within the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. For example, North Park Montessori Academy, which is just 2.11 miles away, has significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The data also suggests that Palmer School may be struggling to support the academic achievement of its minority student populations, with African American and Hispanic students ranking lower than their peers at other Michigan elementary schools.

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.
