Richard C Hedke Elementary School

Summary:

Richard C Hedke Elementary School is a public elementary school in Trenton, Michigan, serving around 500 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Trenton Public Schools district, which is ranked 155 out of 610 districts in the state.

While Richard C Hedke Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's performance on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates lags behind both the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 37.3%, compared to 47.7% for the Trenton Public Schools district and 39.6% for Michigan. The school also has a higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds, with around 37-38% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, nearby schools like Jesse L Anderson Elementary and Yake Elementary outperformed Richard C Hedke Elementary on many metrics.

Additionally, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as male students and students with special education needs, is relatively lower compared to the overall school rankings. Despite the school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $21,298 to $23,881 in recent years, the educational outcomes at Richard C Hedke Elementary remain an area of concern that the Trenton Public Schools district may need to address.

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.
