North Muskegon Elementary School

Summary:

North Muskegon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 376 students in grades PK-5 in Muskegon, Michigan, which is part of the North Muskegon Public Schools district.

North Muskegon Elementary stands out for its relatively high academic performance compared to nearby schools. The school generally outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. This is in contrast to lower-performing schools like Bunker Elementary and Dr. Martin Luther King Academy, which have proficiency rates well below the state average. North Muskegon Elementary also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting it is better able to keep students engaged and attending school regularly.

However, the school's performance has declined over time, dropping from a 5-star rating in 2015-2016 to a 3-star rating in 2023-2024. Additionally, there are achievement gaps among certain student subgroups, such as female students and those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The stark contrast in academic performance and student demographics between North Muskegon Elementary and nearby schools highlights the educational inequities within the Muskegon area, which the school district should work to address.

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.
