Jane Addams Elementary School

Summary:

Jane Addams Elementary School is a public elementary school in Redford, Michigan, serving 297 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the South Redford School District, which is ranked 510 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jane Addams faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 70.03% African American (much higher than the state average), high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 6.3% to 50.6%, and consistently low academic performance on state assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.8% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 39.6%. Additionally, 68.35% of Jane Addams students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status compared to the state.

The struggles at Jane Addams are not unique, as nearby schools within the South Redford School District, such as Thomas Jefferson Elementary, Vandenberg Elementary, and Fisher Elementary, also perform poorly academically and have high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests systemic challenges within the district that extend beyond Jane Addams. While the school's African American students perform relatively better than the overall student population, the school's performance remains well below state and district averages, and addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.

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.
