Challenger Elementary

Summary:

Challenger Elementary is a public elementary school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving 341 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, lower academic performance compared to nearby schools, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Challenger Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (42.23%) and Hispanic (16.72%) students compared to the state average. While the school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally below the Kentwood Public Schools district and the state average, its African American and Hispanic students have performed relatively well compared to their peers in the state. Additionally, the school has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, rising from $10,714 in 2019-2020 to $13,182 in 2022-2023, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.2 to 17 students per teacher over the past few years.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Kentwood Public Schools district, Challenger Elementary generally performs below average. For example, Explorer Elementary, which is located just 1.88 miles away, consistently outperforms Challenger Elementary on M-Step test scores and has a higher statewide ranking. However, the school's diverse student population and the relatively strong performance of its African American and Hispanic students are positive factors that could be leveraged to improve overall outcomes.

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.
