Northeastern Elementary School

Summary:

Northeastern Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serving 212 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kalamazoo Public Schools district, which is ranked 421 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating.

Northeastern Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (70.28%) compared to surrounding schools and the state average. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the Kalamazoo Public Schools district and the state averages. Additionally, Northeastern Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 56.8% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is much higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. The school also has a very high percentage of students (91.98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Northeastern Elementary struggles academically, some nearby schools within the Kalamazoo Public Schools district, such as Woodward Elementary and Washington Writers Academy, perform similarly in terms of low academic proficiency and high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Northeastern Elementary may be systemic within the district. The high percentage of African American students at Northeastern Elementary also highlights the racial segregation and inequities within the Kalamazoo Public Schools district, raising questions about the underlying factors contributing to the academic and attendance challenges faced by this student population.

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.
