Summary:

Laingsburg Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 511 students in grades PK-5 in Laingsburg, Michigan. The school is part of the Laingsburg Community Schools district, which is ranked 124 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Laingsburg Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in M-Step test scores across grades 3-5 in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in 2023-2024, 52.4% of 3rd graders, 41.2% of 4th graders, and 61.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39.6%, 43.3%, and 44%, respectively. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.39% in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools like Donley Elementary (45.11% white) and Vera Ralya Elementary (71.92% white), which have more diverse student populations.

While Laingsburg Elementary School's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools analyzed, the school faces challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism, which has fluctuated from 8.5% in 2020-2021 to 19.6% in 2021-2022, and is still higher than the state's target of 10% or less. Additionally, the school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female students, have fluctuated, suggesting a need to ensure equitable outcomes for all students. Nonetheless, the school's steady increase in spending per student, from $8,794 in 2019-2020 to $12,085 in 2022-2023, suggests a strong financial commitment to supporting student success.

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.
