Angling Road Elementary School

Summary:

Angling Road Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portage, Michigan, serving 370 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Portage Public Schools district, which is ranked 123 out of 610 districts in Michigan, Angling Road Elementary has a diverse student population and a strong academic track record.

With a student body that is 70.81% White, 7.3% African American, 8.92% Hispanic, and 5.68% Asian, Angling Road Elementary has a higher level of racial diversity compared to nearby schools like Moorsbridge Elementary (62.5% White) and Winchell Elementary (55.69% White). The school's academic performance is also strong, with proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math that exceed state averages. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.6% in 2018-2019 to 15.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than some nearby schools but lower than others like Woods Lake Elementary (62.4%) and Paramount Charter Academy (45.3%).

While Angling Road Elementary generally outperforms the Portage Public Schools district, it lags behind the high-performing Moorsbridge Elementary and Winchell Elementary schools in the Kalamazoo area. Additionally, the school's data suggests potential racial achievement gaps, with White students outperforming their low socioeconomic status peers. These are areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students at Angling Road Elementary are reaching their full potential.

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.
