Michigamme Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 7.4% to 40.4%), consistently low academic performance compared to the district and state averages, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (63.31% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Michigan elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending, from $10,389 in 2019-2020 to $15,444 in 2022-2023, Michigamme Elementary's academic performance has not improved. The school's challenges are particularly pronounced for female students, male students, white students, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, all of whom rank in the bottom 25% of Michigan elementary schools. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students at Michigamme Elementary.

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.
