Andrews Elementary School

Summary:

Andrews Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving 291 students in grades PK-5 in Three Rivers, Michigan. The school is part of the Three Rivers Community Schools district, which is ranked 270 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Andrews Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (72.85%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 65.94% to 91.64% White students. The school also has a higher percentage of African American (8.59%) and Hispanic (6.53%) students. However, Andrews Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.2% in 2018-2019 to 22.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools. Academically, the school generally outperforms the district and state in math proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades, but lags behind in English Language Arts proficiency, especially in 3rd grade.

While Andrews Elementary has seen increased per-student spending, from $10,241 in 2019-2020 to $16,266 in 2021-2022, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has declined, dropping from 289 out of 1,408 Michigan elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 706 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools like Norton Elementary and Marcellus Elementary, Andrews Elementary lags behind in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve and better serve its 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.
