Southwood Elementary

Summary:

Southwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Kentwood Public Schools district. With a diverse student population and a high percentage of students from low-income families, the school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism and below-average academic performance.

Southwood Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate is significantly higher than the state and district averages, ranging from 19.7% to 38.1% in recent years. Academically, the school's M-Step test scores are generally below the Kentwood Public Schools district and the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, particularly in 5th-grade Social Studies. However, the school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the state average, while female and male students lag behind.

Compared to nearby schools within the Kentwood Public Schools district, such as Explorer Elementary and Brookwood Elementary, Southwood Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some schools in the neighboring Kelloggsville Public Schools district, such as Central Kelloggsville Elementary. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio comparable to nearby schools, these factors alone do not appear to be sufficient in addressing Southwood Elementary's performance challenges.

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.
