Keppen School

Summary:

Keppen School is an elementary school located in Lincoln Park, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 341. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, lower academic performance, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Keppen School's performance is generally lower than the other elementary schools in the Lincoln Park School District, such as Max Paun School, Raupp School, and Earl F Carr School. These schools have higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Keppen School, the school's academic performance and other key metrics are still lagging behind the state and district averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

The persistently high chronic absenteeism rates at Keppen School are a significant concern and may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, such as socioeconomic challenges or lack of engagement, could be an important focus for the school and district. Additionally, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively better than the school's overall performance, while the school's White students and English Language Learner students perform significantly worse, indicating the need for targeted interventions to address the unique needs of different student subgroups.

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.
