Kosciuszko School

Summary:

Kosciuszko School is a public middle school in Hamtramck, Michigan, serving 326 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Hamtramck School District, which is ranked 533 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kosciuszko School stands out for its unique racial makeup, with a majority White student population ranging from 45.89% to 50.31% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT test scores, is generally lower than the state averages and the performance of nearby schools like Lincoln Middle School and Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences Middle School. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.9% of 7th-grade students at Kosciuszko School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.9%.

Kosciuszko School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.7% in 2017-2018 to 45.0% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average and the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.65% to 89.24% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors likely contribute to the school's declining statewide ranking, from 632 out of 919 Michigan middle schools in 2012-2013 to 718 out of 897 in 2023-2024, and its underperformance compared to nearby schools in academic measures.

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.
