Kinyon Elementary School

Summary:

Kinyon Elementary School is a public elementary school in Taylor, Michigan, serving 411 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Taylor School District, which is ranked 545 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kinyon Elementary School has consistently struggled, ranking between 1107 and 1226 out of around 1,500 Michigan elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating. The school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.1% to 55.8%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Kinyon students perform well below state and district averages on M-Step assessments, with only 17.6% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 39.6% statewide. The school's performance varies greatly by student subgroup, with African American students performing relatively well but White students and students with special needs performing very poorly.

Compared to nearby schools like Taylor Parks Elementary and Holland Elementary, Kinyon's academic outcomes are significantly lower. Despite having relatively high per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio similar to nearby schools, Kinyon Elementary continues to struggle to provide a high-quality education to its students, the majority of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Addressing the school's systemic challenges will likely require comprehensive strategies from the Taylor School District to improve attendance, provide targeted academic interventions, and address the unique needs of the diverse student population.

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.
