Patterson Intermediate Learning Center

Q: Is Patterson Intermediate Learning Center a good school?

Patterson Intermediate Learning Center ranks 858 th of 1486 Michigan elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Patterson Intermediate Learning Center is a public magnet elementary school serving grades 3-4 in Tecumseh, Michigan, with a student population of 175 as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school is part of the Tecumseh Public Schools district, which is ranked 167 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating, Patterson Intermediate's performance has been mixed in recent years.

One key differentiator is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (84%) compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Prairie Elementary School and Michener Elementary School. However, Patterson Intermediate's test scores, while generally higher than the state averages, lag behind the Tecumseh Public Schools district averages in both English Language Arts and Math for grades 3 and 4. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2018-2019 to 23.4% in 2022-2023.

Further analysis reveals that Patterson Intermediate's performance on state assessments varies significantly by student subgroup, with female students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds all performing below their peers at the school. This suggests the need for targeted interventions to address these achievement gaps. Moreover, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the past few years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, indicating the school may be struggling to maintain its performance.

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.
