Jack Harvey Elementary School

Summary:

Jack Harvey Elementary School is a public elementary school in Sterling Heights, Michigan, serving 427 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Utica Community Schools district.

While Jack Harvey has a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students compared to surrounding schools, it faces several challenges. The school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.4% to 33.2% in recent years, significantly higher than nearby schools. Additionally, Jack Harvey's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the Utica Community Schools district and Michigan averages, particularly in math and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 34.3% of 3rd graders at Jack Harvey were proficient in math, compared to 50.4% in the district and 43.4% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students (over 60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Jack Harvey to other elementary schools in the Utica Community Schools district, it consistently ranks lower in terms of statewide school rankings and test scores. For instance, Messmore Elementary, located just 2 miles away, ranks significantly higher (top 5% in the state) and outperforms Jack Harvey across all academic measures. While Jack Harvey has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, this increased funding has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.

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.
