McGregor Elementary School

Summary:

McGregor Elementary School is a public elementary school in Rochester, Michigan, serving around 450 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Rochester Community School District, which is ranked 46 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 5-star rating.

McGregor has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (17.78%) and Asian (11.78%) students. Academically, the school's performance is generally strong, but it lags behind some top-performing nearby schools, especially in math and science. For example, in 5th grade math, McGregor's proficiency rate is 46.6% compared to 58.7% at Brewster Elementary and 55.1% at Meadow Brook Elementary. Additionally, McGregor has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate (26.9%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 10% to 24.9%.

While McGregor's academic performance is generally above the state averages, it lags behind the Rochester Community School District's averages. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top schools in the state for these subgroups. Despite having a relatively high spending per student ($15,228) compared to nearby schools, this higher spending does not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes, and the school's higher student-teacher ratio (18.3) may be a factor contributing to its higher chronic absenteeism rate.

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.
