Endeavor Elementary

Summary:

Endeavor Elementary is a public elementary school in Kentwood Public Schools district in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 24.45% White, 33.09% African American, 13.79% Hispanic, 21.69% Asian, and 6.8% two or more races.

Endeavor Elementary faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.1% in 2018-2019 to 27.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in M-Step English Language Arts and Math assessments are below the Kentwood Public Schools and Michigan state averages across all grade levels. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic and African American students, is stronger compared to the state averages for those subgroups.

Compared to other nearby schools in the Kentwood Public Schools district, such as Explorer Elementary, Endeavor Elementary has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and a higher chronic absenteeism rate, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. However, the school's strengths in supporting specific student subgroups and the potential for collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools present opportunities for improvement.

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.
