Lewiston Elementary School

Summary:

Lewiston Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lewiston, Michigan, serving 153 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools district, which is ranked 305 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Lewiston Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (94.12%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Johannesburg-Lewiston Elementary/Middle School. However, the school has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.1% to 42.9% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning. On state assessments, Lewiston Elementary has shown mixed performance, outperforming the district and state in some areas but underperforming in others, such as 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency.

Lewiston Elementary School also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.97% to 77.17%, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This, coupled with the school's declining statewide ranking and notable gender-based achievement gaps, suggests that addressing the needs of this population and providing targeted support could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance. Comparing Lewiston Elementary to higher-performing nearby schools, such as South Maple Elementary School, may also provide valuable insights for the school to consider.

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.
