Stevens T Mason Elementary School

Summary:

Stevens T Mason Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, serving 301 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Grosse Pointe Public Schools district, which is ranked 40th out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Stevens T Mason has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (35.88%) and Hispanic (5.32%) students, it has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.2% in 2017-2018 to 26.8% in 2022-2023. This is notably higher than the nearby Kerby Elementary School, which had only 9.3% chronic absenteeism in 2022-2023. Academically, Stevens T Mason's performance, as measured by M-Step proficiency rates, is generally lower than the Grosse Pointe Public Schools district and the state of Michigan averages, with only 44% of 3rd-graders proficient in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 69.8% and the state's 39.6%.

The school's challenges are further highlighted by its declining statewide ranking, dropping from 5 stars out of 5 in 2015-2016 to only 3 stars in 2023-2024. While the school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $15,459 in 2019-2020 to $21,890 in 2022-2023, this increased funding has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. However, the school's African American students perform relatively well, ranking 53rd out of 348 Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school may be effectively supporting this population. Overall, addressing the unique challenges faced by Stevens T Mason Elementary will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader community.

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.
