Heritage School

Summary:

Heritage School is an elementary school located in Stockbridge, Michigan, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 322 students. The school is part of the Stockbridge Community Schools district, which is ranked 389 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heritage School faces several challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.24%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby schools, such as Navigator Upper Elementary School and South Meadows Elementary School. Heritage School has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.4% to 22.2% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

Additionally, Heritage School has a significant percentage of students (44.41%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 553 out of 1,533 Michigan elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 875 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance is not keeping pace with other schools in the state. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, review resource allocation, and explore strategies to improve student engagement and academic achievement.

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.
