Inland Lakes Elementary School

Summary:

Inland Lakes Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Indian River, Michigan, serving 297 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Harbor Springs School District, which is ranked 433 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Inland Lakes Elementary School faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are consistently below the state averages, and its chronic absenteeism rates range from 17.2% to 54.6%, significantly higher than the state average and the rates observed in nearby schools like Blackbird Elementary (18.4%) and East Elementary (17.4%). Additionally, Inland Lakes Elementary School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.71% to 71.72%, which is higher than the rates seen in some nearby schools, such as Lincoln School (43.81%) and Sheridan School (43.12%).

Interestingly, Inland Lakes Elementary School's performance on key metrics varies across different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for male students generally lower than for female students, and the ranking for white students also lower than the overall school ranking. These factors, along with the high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility, may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. Addressing these issues and learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, such as Pellston Elementary School, could be crucial for improving Inland Lakes Elementary School's overall outcomes.

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.
