Summary:

Ezra Eby Elementary School is a public elementary school in Napoleon, Michigan, serving 559 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Jackson Public Schools district, which is ranked 184 out of 610 districts in the state.

Ezra Eby stands out for its strong academic performance, with students generally outperforming state averages in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2023-2024, 51.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44% statewide. The school's test scores also exceed those of nearby schools like Northeast Elementary, John R. Lewis Elementary, and East Jackson Elementary. However, Ezra Eby has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.6% in 2018-2019 to 19% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Another notable aspect of Ezra Eby is its student population, which is predominantly white (88.19% in 2022-2023) compared to the more diverse nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.81% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite these socioeconomic factors, Ezra Eby continues to outperform many of the surrounding schools that serve higher-poverty populations, suggesting the school is providing a strong academic program for its students.

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.
