East Oakview Elementary School

Summary:

East Oakview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving 375 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Northview Public Schools district, which is ranked 194 out of 610 districts in the state.

While East Oakview Elementary has a predominantly White student population, it faces several challenges. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 5.2% in 2018-2019 to 70.8% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the nearby West Oakview Elementary School (19.2%) and North Oakview Elementary School (17.2%). Academically, East Oakview's proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Math are lower than the district and state averages, and the school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 444 out of 1,153 Michigan elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 689 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024.

Compared to higher-performing schools in the region, such as Belmont Elementary and Knapp Forest Elementary, East Oakview Elementary lags behind in academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and statewide rankings. This may be partly due to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.27% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these challenges and understanding the underlying factors will be crucial for improving the school's outcomes and providing a better educational experience 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.
