Einstein Elementary School

Summary:

Einstein Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Oak Park, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 416. The school has a predominantly African American student body, with over 94% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year. Unfortunately, Einstein Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Einstein Elementary has struggled with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.3% in 2020-2021 to 66.8% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Key Elementary School and Pepper Elementary School, both part of the Oak Park School District. Academically, only 6.9% to 14.3% of Einstein Elementary students are proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 8.3% to 10.3% are proficient or better in Math, well below the state and district averages.

Despite the high per-student spending of $19,024 at Einstein Elementary, which is higher than the state average and the spending levels of nearby schools, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the underlying challenges facing the school and its students, which likely include the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, 88.22% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Addressing these non-academic factors could be crucial in improving outcomes at Einstein Elementary, which currently lags significantly behind its peers in the Oak Park School District.

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.
