Moraine Elementary School

Summary:

Moraine Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Northville, Michigan, serving 414 students in grades K-5 and consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. With a diverse student population, strong academic performance, low chronic absenteeism, and high per-student spending, Moraine stands out as an exceptional educational institution within the Northville Public Schools district.

Moraine Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high proficiency rates on state assessments, significantly outpacing the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, Moraine's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates ranged from 84.7% to 86.1% across grades 3-5, compared to just 39.6% to 44% for the state. In math, Moraine's proficiency rates were equally impressive, ranging from 76.4% to 88.1%, compared to 32.6% to 43.4% for the state. This strong academic performance extends beyond Moraine, with some Novi Community School District elementary schools, such as Novi Woods and Deerfield, also demonstrating comparable or even higher proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subject areas.

Moraine Elementary's diverse student population, with 14.49% Asian and 4.11% two or more races, is noteworthy, especially given the school's exceptional academic performance. This suggests that Moraine is effectively serving students from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, Moraine's low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.7% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the state average of 21.8%, is a testament to the school's commitment to student engagement and attendance. The high per-student spending of $15,781 in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly above the state average, appears to be aligned with Moraine's strong student outcomes, indicating that the district is investing resources in ways that support student learning and achievement.

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.
