Columbiaville Elementary School

Summary:

Columbiaville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the LakeVille Community School District, with a student population of 378 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces several key challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high proportion of students from low-income families.

Columbiaville Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on M-STEP assessments in both English Language Arts and Math, with only 32.9% of 3rd graders and 27.9% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39.6% and 43.3% respectively. In Math, 42.5% of 3rd graders and 20.6% of 4th graders were proficient, compared to 43.4% and 39.1% statewide. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 19.3% in 2021-2022 and 16.1% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, a large percentage of Columbiaville Elementary students (65.08% in 2022-2023) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high proportion of students from low-income families.

When comparing Columbiaville Elementary to nearby schools, the academic gap becomes even more apparent.

Similarly, Chatfield School, a public charter school, outperformed Columbiaville Elementary across multiple grade levels and subject areas. These comparisons highlight the significant gap in academic outcomes, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve 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.
