JohannesburgLewiston ElementaryMiddle School

Summary:

JohannesburgLewiston ElementaryMiddle School is a public elementary and middle school in Johannesburg, Michigan, serving 346 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools district, which is ranked 305 out of 610 districts in the state.

The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.91%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of minority students. It has experienced a fluctuating chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 10.9% to 39.8%, which is notably higher than the state average and the nearby Lewiston Elementary School. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the M-Step and PSAT, is generally below the state and district averages, and it has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.97% to 60.69%.

Interestingly, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 289 out of 1,533 Michigan elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 877 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. The nearby Lewiston Elementary School, which is also part of the Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools district, generally outperforms JohannesburgLewiston ElementaryMiddle School on key metrics, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school may be specific to the school itself. Additionally, the significant increase in spending per student at JohannesburgLewiston ElementaryMiddle School has not translated into improved academic performance, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the school.

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.
