Indian Woods Elementary School

Summary:

Indian Woods Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kimball, Michigan, serving 365 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Port Huron Area School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with a relatively low socioeconomic status.

Compared to other schools in the district, Indian Woods has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.95%) and struggles with lower test scores across subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 27.5% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 39.6% and the district average of 29.3%. Additionally, Indian Woods has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.8% in 2020-2021 to 34.0% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern.

When comparing Indian Woods to nearby schools, such as Keewahdin Elementary School, the school generally performs worse on standardized tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. Despite increased spending per student, from $10,860 in 2019-2020 to $15,693 in 2022-2023, the school has not been able to significantly improve its outcomes compared to the state and district averages. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as student engagement, teacher effectiveness, and family support, will be crucial for Indian Woods Elementary School to better serve its community.

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.
