New Lothrop Elementary School

Summary:

New Lothrop Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 476 students in grades PK-6 in the Montrose Community Schools district in New Lothrop, Michigan. The school has consistently been rated 3-4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing above average compared to other Michigan elementary schools.

New Lothrop Elementary stands out for several key reasons. First, it has a significantly higher percentage of white students (over 92%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Northridge Academy and Linden Charter Academy, which have much more diverse student populations. Academically, New Lothrop students consistently outperform the state average on M-Step assessments, with 58.3% of 6th graders proficient in Math and ELA compared to state averages of 31% and 37.5%. Additionally, the school has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates of 7-10%, much better than the over 30% rates at Northridge Academy and Linden Charter Academy.

Despite its strong academic performance, New Lothrop Elementary serves a community with a mix of socioeconomic backgrounds, with 33% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. This is in contrast to the school's higher per-student spending of around $10,000, compared to $13,000-$14,000 per student at nearby charter schools. Overall, New Lothrop Elementary appears to be a high-performing school serving a predominantly white, relatively affluent community, setting it apart from the more diverse and lower-performing schools in the surrounding area.

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.
