Summary:

Haverhill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portage, Michigan, serving 379 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Portage Public Schools district, which is ranked 123 out of 610 districts in the state.

Haverhill Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 33.77% of students identifying as non-White and 13.19% as two or more races. However, the school faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.6% and lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Haverhill's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were below the Portage Public Schools district and the state of Michigan. This may be partly due to the school's higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 45.91% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Paramount Charter Academy, Woods Lake ElementaryA Magnet Center For The Arts, and Edison Academy, Haverhill Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. However, the school's racial diversity and socioeconomic status are more similar to the other Portage Public Schools district schools.

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.
