Tyrone Elementary School

Summary:

Tyrone Elementary School is a public magnet school located in Harper Woods, Michigan, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 327 students. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with over 90% of the students identifying as such in recent years, and has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.

Tyrone Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates reaching 60.3% in the 2021-2022 school year, well above the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Beacon Elementary. Academically, the school's performance is consistently well below state and district averages, with only 9.5% of 3rd graders, 14% of 4th graders, and 13.3% of 5th graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 39.6%, 43.3%, and 44%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are similarly low. Tyrone Elementary also serves a population with significant economic challenges, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Kerby Elementary and John Monteith Elementary in the Grosse Pointe Public Schools district, Tyrone Elementary's performance is consistently lower across all academic measures. This suggests the presence of significant racial inequities, as Tyrone Elementary's student population is overwhelmingly African American, in contrast to the more diverse populations of the higher-performing nearby schools. Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,983 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, Tyrone Elementary's academic performance remains among the lowest in the state, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement.

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.
