Tenniswood Elementary School

Summary:

Tenniswood Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in Clinton Township, Michigan, serving 356 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, which is ranked 288 out of 610 districts in the state.

Tenniswood Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (46.91%) and two or more races (12.08%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 51.9%, which is more than double the state average. Academically, Tenniswood's performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.8% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.5% in the district and 39.6% statewide.

Tenniswood's struggles are further highlighted by its declining statewide ranking, from 827 out of 1,533 Michigan elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,009 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and those from low-income families. In comparison, nearby schools like Marie C Graham Elementary and Donald J Yacks Elementary have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall rankings.

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.
