Village Oaks Elementary School

Summary:

Village Oaks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Novi, Michigan, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Novi Community School District, which is ranked 19th out of 610 districts in the state.

Village Oaks is a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Michigan with strong academic achievement, particularly among specific student subgroups. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade students outperform state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math on the M-Step assessment. Village Oaks has also demonstrated exceptional performance for its Asian and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations, ranking 11th and 2nd, respectively, out of Michigan elementary schools in those categories. However, the school's performance lags behind some neighboring schools in the Northville Public Schools district, such as Silver Springs Elementary and Amerman Elementary.

While Village Oaks has generally maintained low chronic absenteeism rates, the school has seen a significant increase in recent years, from 5.0% in 2017-2018 to 20.8% in 2021-2022. This trend is not unique to Village Oaks, as many schools across Michigan have seen increases in chronic absenteeism during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has steadily increased, from $10,302 in 2019-2020 to $15,335 in 2022-2023.

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.

Open Quote It seems like the teachers in this school are less experienced and they want kids to learn fast paced rather than having good and structured foundation in math or in English. With this fast paced study, students/kids will lack fundamentals which will be very costly for their dear future Close Quote

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.
