Ann Visger K5 Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Ann Visger K5 Preparatory Academy is an elementary school in River Rouge, Michigan, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a predominantly African American student population, the school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student body from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Ann Visger K5 Preparatory Academy ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Michigan, with a statewide ranking between 1214 and 1554 out of over 1,500 schools over the past decade. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 1433 out of 1486 Michigan elementary schools and received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the M-Step (Michigan's standardized assessment) are significantly below the state and River Rouge School District averages, with only 8.3% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 39.6% statewide and 8.3% in the district. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 54.6% in the 2022-2023 school year.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Keppen School, which is also in the Lincoln Park School District, Ann Visger K5 Preparatory Academy performs significantly worse in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for its African American and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups, which rank 326 out of 348 and 1333 out of 1381 Michigan elementary schools, respectively. Despite the increased per-student spending at the school, from $11,871 in 2019-2020 to $16,821 in 2022-2023, the additional funding has not yet translated into meaningful improvements in student outcomes.

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.
